We are assembling a lean, high-quality team to build the next phase of the product.

The Role

Based in Cairo, Egypt. We operate with flexibility today and plan to transition to a hybrid model once Ledgers Egypt is fully set up (target: Jan 2027).

  • Implement guardrails including safe completion patterns, fallbacks, and failure handling
  • Collaborate with product to translate user needs into AI specs and acceptance criteria

Requirements

  • Demonstrated experience building LLM-powered applications in projects or production
  • Strong Python skills and familiarity with LLM tooling such as OpenAI, Anthropic APIs, LangChain, or LlamaIndex
  • Solid understanding of embeddings and retrieval including vector DBs and chunking strategies
  • Experience designing evaluations and iterating based on results
  • Comfortable working with APIs, backend services, and data pipelines
  • Clear communication and ownership mindset in a fast-moving environment

Nice to Have

  • Experience with structured outputs and reliability techniques
  • Awareness of privacy and security practices when handling user data
  • Exposure to fintech or accounting concepts
