About Shelf

The enterprise is going agentic — but most AI agents fail when they hit real business complexity. Shelf is changing that.

We’ve built the operating system for agentic AI: a platform that models your policies, workflows, and operational logic into an AI Data Model so agents don’t just respond — they reason. The result? AI that understands how your business actually runs and delivers precise, compliant, auditable outcomes at scale.

Brands like Amazon, Nespresso, HelloFresh, and KeyBank trust Shelf to power AI agents that resolve 85% of cases autonomously, cut handle times by 20–25%, and turn hours-long processes into seconds. We’re partnered with Microsoft, Salesforce, OpenAI, Snowflake, and Databricks — and recognized by Gartner (Cool Vendor) and IDC (Innovator) for our approach.

If you want to sell the infrastructure that makes agentic AI actually work in the enterprise, you’re in the right place.

Our mission is to empower humanity with better answers everywhere.

Your work will power ML- and LLM-driven services used by top enterprises like Amazon, Mayo Clinic, AmFam, and Nespresso.

This role requires strong Python engineering capabilities coupled with a strong ability to deliver robust ML solutions, along with ML research literacy to choose sound methodologies, define metrics, and evaluate different approaches effectively.

You’ll work in an agile environment, move fast, and own what you ship.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end delivery: ideate, research, prototype, productionize, and operate ML-powered services with an expectation to iterate and ship frequently

• Solve problems using sound methodology, evaluate approaches along with 
• Transform ML models and LLM workflows (including RAG) into reusable, versioned, observable production services with CI/CD
• Collaborate with Product Owners to shape our product and requirements
• Conduct and receive code reviews; champion engineering excellence, testing discipline, and documentation
• Leverage AI coding assistants to accelerate development and create internal agents that automate parts of the engineering workflow
• Share learnings through demos, docs, and knowledge sessions; contribute to a culture of continuous improvement

Requirements

• 3+ years of professional experience researching and shipping ML-based solutions, with strong Python skills and a track record of delivering fast without sacrificing quality
• Proven experience in owning research problems end-to-end, starting from initial data analysis, through iterative research phases to delivering on production
• Practical NLP/LLM experience: transformers, embeddings, prompt design, and evaluation; ability to choose and justify metrics and methodologies
• Strong backend fundamentals: designing RESTful services, schema design, data modeling, and performance tuning for SQL and NoSQL stores
• Data processing skills: pandas/NumPy; experience with batch/stream processing and ETL orchestration (e.g., Airflow, Step Functions)
• Strong English verbal and written communication

As a plus

• LLM ops and safety: eval frameworks (e.g., RAGAS), guardrails, red-teaming, prompt optimization at scale
• Model optimization: quantization, distillation, pruning; GPU/accelerator-aware serving
• Experience with AWS ML stack (SageMaker, Batch, Step Functions, Lambda, SQS/SNS, DynamoDB, ECS, EC2, S3)

Our Values:

Quality - We’re united by our focus on world‑class Quality. Quality in all things – starting with everything that leaves your desk. Everything you touch – every email, report, campaign, and piece of code – should be outstanding. Your work product should blow people away. Having people look at what you’ve done and say, “Wow.” That’s the standard here. Remember that how you do anything is how you do everything. Focus on craftsmanship—your ability to make things better.

Momentum - for us means that you should know that the things you’re responsible for are moving forward. When you look around and see something that’s stalled, get it moving again. We pride ourselves on “ball movement.” When your boss or team leaves you with something, they should return to see measurable progress. Small, continuous movement is our recipe for success. Constantly look for how to make the work around you move forward. We want you to initiate solutions, ideas, and progress. Don’t wait for it to come to you—reach out and create movement. All the time.

Accountability - We expect every team member to feel that they are accountable for more than anyone might normally expect. Each of us should feel real responsibility for things even at the edge of our control. We consistently share and align on expectations, give each other open and respectful feedback, and use those two drivers to ensure that every agreement we make with one another is clear and complete.

Hard Work - We’re here to do something difficult together. We care intensely about the mission and we expect that from our teammates. That care means that we work hard here. Hard work comes with long hours, extra effort…and real opportunity at Shelf. Your passion for creating and sustaining output is a part of our DNA. Support each other, cheer each other on, drive the mission forward. Great teams sustain intense effort together to win.

Learning Agility - We’re innovating in one of the fastest‑moving spaces in history at a time of accelerating global change. That’s incredibly exciting and requires each of us to commit fully to learning each and every day so that we can be the best at what we do. None of us know everything. All of us can learn anything. Staying open and constantly curious is a key success driver at Shelf. It also requires humility. We prize people who are consistently humble and open to making mistakes and growing from them. Recognize also that learning itself is a skill…we need you to be really good at it. Keep dialing in your own understanding about how you learn best and push yourself to keep growing.

Adapt and Thrive - Overcoming challenges lives deep in our DNA. We have a proud history of understanding and living the reality that obstacles are our opportunities…they’re the key to our success. Change is a constant in our business and fighting change is counterproductive. We need you to be good at being uncomfortable and understand that discomfort is the key to growth. Cultivate your own ability to adapt and know that struggling well is something you’ll share with every team you’re on at Shelf. Our company stories are about thriving through real difficulty…together.

Win Together - We win or lose as a team. Always. Everything you do here is connected to the rest of the organization. Part of our shared team environment demands full honesty…real candor and directness with one another. We expect you to constantly be thinking about how to support your teammates and the company, always acting in service to our shared mission and what’s best for the organization as a whole.
