The Role 

We are looking for a Applied AI Engineer to build and operate LLM-powered internal solutions, tools, automations, and customer-facing AI features end-to-end. 

We are not building AI for the sake of AI, or to follow hype or impress investors. We care about AI that works in real life and solves actual problems.

• Build and operate LLM-powered internal solutions, tools, and automations end-to-end  

• Ship customer-facing AI features  

• Drive technical decisions from design through production rollout  

• Own systems in production, including monitoring, reliability improvements, and incident response participation  

• Build and maintain LLM evaluation workflows, including quality/safety checks, baselines, and regression detection  

• Partner with R&D, product, and security teams  

• Evaluate emerging AI technologies and patterns, and advocate adoption when justified  

What we’re looking for 

• Strong software engineering fundamentals with hands-on ownership of production systems; Python required  

• Solid LLM application development experience, including context design, structured outputs, and orchestration  

• Hands-on experience with LLM evaluations, including experiment design, regression detection, gating, and observability  

• Experience building and operating backend services/APIs in production  

• Experience designing multi-service architectures and reliable integrations, including stable service contracts, retries, and failure recovery  

• Working knowledge of operating production databases, including schema design, indexing, migrations, and backup/restore  

• Hands-on experience with containerized workloads  

• Ability to balance output quality, latency, and cost in production AI systems 

Nice to have 

• Experience with agentic systems or RAG, including evaluation 

• Experience building lightweight user interfaces 

• Experience shipping high-adoption internal developer or operations tooling  

• JavaScript/TypeScript  

• AWS deployment and operations experience 

• Experience with runtime isolation and sandboxing for sensitive execution  

• Experience in B2B SaaS, security, compliance, or data governance contexts
