AI Engineer / FDE
About Primero AI
Primero AI is building the AI-native operating system for Latin America's largest enterprises. Our platform, Primia, connects live to the fragmented systems (Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, and custom stacks) of companies with $250M+ in revenue, normalizes them into a common ontology, and runs custom AI agents on top. We've raised US$16M from General Catalyst, Kaszek, 8VC, and Conviction. Our goal: to become the Palantir of Latin America.
About the role
AI Engineering at Primero is a blend of Product and Software Engineering. We're a small team where everyone wears many hats, so we're looking for engineers who can do a bit of everything and switch context quickly. You'll build Primia — our data and intelligence platform — and deploy the AI agents that run on top of our clients' systems, owning projects end-to-end.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and deploy custom AI agents that operate over clients' information systems.
- Build and maintain the Primia platform, including user interfaces, backend services, data ingestion and transformation pipelines, semantic models, alerting systems, and visualization dashboards.
- Develop integrations with clients' enterprise and legacy systems, including ERPs, databases, APIs, and third-party platforms.
- Make technical architecture decisions on assigned projects, including technology selection, component design, and solution definition.
- Own assigned projects from end to end — from technical requirements gathering through production deployment with the client.
- Participate in daily engineering stand-ups, reporting progress, blockers, and priorities.
- Collaborate with the Deployments team on project tracking, scope definition, and meeting client-agreed delivery dates.
- Interact directly with clients when the project requires it — for technical discovery, solution validation, and implementation support.
- Participate in defining and prioritizing product features, in coordination with the founding team and design.
- Test, validate, and document delivered work.
Requirements
- 0–6 years of professional experience.
- Ability to work across the full stack: front-end, back-end, data, and integration.
- Strong problem-solving, fast learning, and the drive to go beyond the minimum — we love candidates with personal projects built out of a genuine love for coding.
- Full-time availability and willingness to work 100% on-site in our Mexico City office.
- Must be able to code end-to-end (AI-assisted is fine, but you need to program from start to finish — there's a technical assessment in the process).
Our stack (not a requirement): TypeScript, React, Next.js, Python, SQL, Prisma, Postgres, dbt, Supabase. We value critical thinking and the ability to learn any stack a project needs.
Benefits
- Top-of-market compensation in Mexico, competitive equity, and performance bonuses.
- Direct exposure to complex problems at the region's leading companies.
- Frontier technical work in data, infrastructure, and AI agents.
