The challenge
The AI Platform team is responsible for all the AI platforms and tools used by Rappi teams, as well as many of those that reach our users. We build the agent platform (currently over 1,600 agents and 1,000 daily users), the evals platform, the company brain, an agentic data analytics platform, and consumer-facing agents that reach Rappi users directly. We’re a team that moves very fast: we’re always experimenting at the cutting edge of technology, with all providers and frameworks, and taking what we build to production. If you’re passionate about AI and building systems, and have experience building scalable and efficient services, this is a great opportunity.
