Senior AI Engineer

About EB1A Experts EB1A Experts simplifies the path to U.S. permanent residency for tech professionals pursuing EB-1A, O-1A, and NIW immigration petitions. Founded by Raghu Suram, who navigated the EB-1A process firsthand, the company combines expert guidance with AI-driven strategy to help applicants evaluate their profiles, build stronger cases, and get approved faster.

About LevelUp LevelUp is our flagship B2C subscription product, a guided, AI-powered platform that brings structure, visibility, and strategy to high-skill immigration petition preparation. It helps applicants self-assess their eligibility, organise evidence, identify gaps, and build a compelling petition narrative. Under the hood, LevelUp is powered by an internal intelligence engine using RAG, LLMs, and proprietary data to analyse profiles and surface actionable insights.

Role Overview This is a hands-on role focused on designing and shipping real-world intelligent systems that help analyse complex profiles, generate insights, and improve decision-making using a combination of structured data, machine learning, and large language models. You will work closely with the product and engineering team to build AI-powered features end-to-end, from data pipelines and model training to LLM integrations and production deployment.

Key Responsibilities ● Build systems that extract structured signals from unstructured data (documents, profiles, forms) ● Develop scoring and decision-support systems combining business logic and machine learning ● Train and evaluate models for prediction tasks using real-world datasets ● Design LLM-powered workflows for reasoning, summarisation, and insights ● Build retrieval systems to surface relevant historical data and patterns ● Improve system performance over time using feedback and data ● Integrate AI/ML capabilities into the core product platform ● Use AI tools (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) to accelerate development and problem-solving ● Participate in code reviews and contribute to engineering best practices

What We’re Looking For ● 4–7 years of experience in backend, data, or ML engineering ● Strong Python skills ● Experience building production-grade ML or data systems ● Experience working with LLMs (OpenAI / Anthropic / similar APIs) ● Solid understanding of feature engineering, model evaluation (AUC, precision/recall), and working with real-world data ● Good grasp of system design and debugging

Nice to Have ● Experience with XGBoost / LightGBM / sklearn ● Experience with vector databases or retrieval systems (RAG) ● Experience building internal tools or decision-support systems ● Familiarity with document parsing / NLP pipelines ● Experience with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure) ● Familiarity with MLOps practices (Docker, CI/CD for ML, model monitoring)

Why Join Us ● Work on a real-world impactful product in the immigration space ● Be part of a small, high-ownership engineering team ● Build in an AI-first engineering environment ● Opportunity to influence product and technical direction ● Own the full AI/ML pipeline from experimentation to production
