Lead AI Engineer at Coupa: We're looking for a senior Applied AI Engineer to help us build the harness that supplier agents run inside. You'll own platform-layer work: the skill framework, the tool layer that wraps Coupa APIs, the sandboxed execution environment, audit and replay logging, and the eval pipeline that tells us how it is all working. You'll also own the cloud infrastructure that runs it — how the platform is deployed, configured, and kept secure in production.

This is a role for someone who wants ownership of a foundational system at the moment it's being built, not someone looking to maintain one that already exists. Define and maintain the cloud deployment and configuration for the platform.



How it gets to production, how it scales, and how it stays secure.

Make architectural calls on runtime isolation, credential handling, audit logging, and tenant separation, in collaboration with DevOps specialists. Have 6+ years shipping production software and are strong in Python and/or TypeScript. daily, heavy user of agentic coding tools — Have side projects. Write and speak English fluently — skill authoring is prose-heavy and the team operates in English.

You understand network isolation, infrastructure-as-code, secrets management, and least-privilege IAM, not just the application layer.
