As an Applied AI Engineer, you'll own complex AI products end-to-end, from early experimentation through production. You'll combine full-stack engineering expertise with applied AI knowledge to build agents that solve real customer problems reliably.
Key responsibilities include:
- Designing and shipping customer-facing AI experiences, including agent orchestration, tool use, and supporting backend systems
- Building agent loops that reason over complex context, call tools, recover from failures, and complete long-running tasks
- Creating evaluation frameworks, analyzing failures, and optimizing prompts, context, models, tools, and product flows
- Shipping production infrastructure across frontend, backend, APIs, databases, and infrastructure
- Leading complex projects from experimentation through production
- Mentoring other engineers and sharing technical knowledge
You'll work on technically ambitious problems alongside a team that values craft, speed, and thoughtful execution. The engineering culture emphasizes product intuition, direct customer engagement, and high agency—you'll drive strategic decisions and own projects with immediate impact.
Required qualifications: 4+ years professional software development experience, deep production experience with language models (agents, tool use, retrieval, prompting, structured outputs), full-stack ownership across frontend/backend/infrastructure, track record leading complex projects from concept to production, strong product intuition, and experience mentoring engineers.
