About Weblife Labs


For over 16 years, WebLife has been a leader in the e-commerce industry, operating category-defining stores
and serving as one of the largest distributors of mailboxes in the US. Our success comes from building data-
driven operations and high-performing teams that thrive in fast-moving markets.
Now, we are taking that foundation into a bold new venture, building an AI-powered product that will redefine
how small and mid-sized businesses operate. We are a small, high-energy team that moves fast, works hands-
on, and embraces the creativity and grit of a startup as we shape what the future of business looks like.
By combining the agility of a startup with the backing of a proven e-commerce leader, we are creating an
environment where ideas turn into impact and where you can help write the next chapter of business with AI.


About the Role


As a foundating AI Engineer for our new venture, you will be at the heart of building our AI-native SaaS product.
You will have the unique opportunity to design, build, and operate the production-grade AI systems that form
the core of our user-facing features.
Your mission will be to translate complex business problems into cutting-edge AI solutions, including
sophisticated LLM-powered agents, robust RAG systems for data interaction, and scalable, observable AI
workflows. Working closely with product and data engineering, you will own the end-to-end lifecycle of AI
model development and deployment, making a direct and visible impact on the product we ship to customers.
This is a remote position open to candidates based in Sri Lanka, offering a chance to shape a global product
from its earliest stages.
