LangChain Developer Jobs
Master the LLM Framework

LangChain is the dominant framework for building LLM applications.
Companies are paying $120K-$180K+ for developers who know it well.

LangChain Is Everywhere.
But Real Expertise Is Rare.

You see LangChain in every AI job description but feel overwhelmed by the learning curve.

Tutorials show basic chains, but production LangChain apps require deeper knowledge.

Companies want LangChain experts, not developers who followed a tutorial once.

Become a LangChain Expert.

The World-Class AI Engineer Cohort

Go beyond tutorials. Learn to build production LangChain applications with proper error handling, observability, and scaling. Position yourself as the LangChain expert companies are desperate to hire.

Meet Your Mentor

Zen van Riel

My aim has been the same for years: become a world-class AI engineer. Every career move I've made has been measured against that.

I started as a software tester on a $500/month internship in the Netherlands. Taught myself to code, learned to ship real systems, and worked my way to Senior Engineer at GitHub.

Then I left GitHub. I joined an AI research lab as Member of Technical Staff, where I currently build products for secure AI monitoring.

The cohort draws directly from my real experience so you can make progress fast.

I run this special cohort with only a few people because hands-on work with me is what it takes to bring you to become a world-class AI engineer.

"The coaching played a huge part in my success. I focused on AI fundamentals, the certification path, and soft skills like professional writing. Having access to expert guidance gave me confidence during interviews and helped me feel I was on the right path.

I built my own platform (simple but functional) and deployed it on AWS. I used it in my portfolio and showcased it during interviews. The way complex topics were explained, especially the restaurant analogy for AI systems, really stuck with me. Focusing on doing the basics well was absolutely essential."

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is LangChain in such high demand?

LangChain has become the default framework for building LLM applications. It abstracts away complexity of prompt management, chain composition, and tool use. Most AI startups and enterprise teams building LLM features use LangChain. Companies need developers who can build reliable LangChain applications, not just demo projects.

What should I learn to become a LangChain developer?

Core skills: chain types and when to use each, agent design and tool integration, memory systems for conversation, RAG implementation with vector stores. Production skills: LangSmith for observability, streaming responses, error handling and fallbacks, cost optimization. Advanced: LangGraph for complex workflows, multi-agent systems. Build at least 2-3 production-grade projects.

How much time will this take?

You'll spend 3 hours every Tuesday in the live session and roughly 3 hours of async work in between, for 8 weeks. The Tuesday session time is fixed.

I've signed up for cohorts before and dropped out. How is this different?

It probably isn't, and you should hold the money. Most cohort dropouts are people who couldn't articulate what they were shipping when they signed up. That's why the consult exists, and why I turn down most applications. If we get on the call and you can't tell me what you'll have shipped at the end of week 8, I'll point you to the AI Native Engineer community until you can.

I'm not pivoting careers. I want to build a product. Does this still work?

Yes, the cohort works for people shipping their first serious AI system whether the goal is to land a senior role or to launch a product. The shipped system serves both equally well.

Do I need prior AI experience?

You need to be able to code in Python or TypeScript. Complete beginners can follow the classroom they get access to before the cohort sessions to come in well-prepared.

What does it cost?

It's a four-figure investment that we discuss during the 30-minute consult, alongside whether the cohort is the right fit for your project.

Can I do this while working full-time?

Yes, most attendees do. The live session is one Tuesday a week and the async work fits around your existing schedule, as long as you can carve out roughly 6 hours a week.

I accept those who have the highest chance of success.

In the 30-minute call we discuss your goals and whether you are ready for the program.
