Job description

  • This company has achieved strong product-market fit and is scaling rapidly, with AI at the core of its platform - not as an experiment, but as a fundamental driver of how the product operates.
  • They are hiring Senior Applied AI Engineers (5-8 years experience) to help build and deploy AI-powered systems used daily by real customers.
  • This is a product-facing role, focused on shipping practical, high-impact systems - not research.

What you'll work on

You'll build AI directly into a live production platform, helping automate complex workflows and unlock efficiency at scale.

Examples of systems you may design and ship:

  • AI copilots and intelligent assistants embedded into the product
  • Autonomous agents that execute multi-step workflows
  • Workflow automation systems powered by LLMs and structured data
  • Meeting preparation tools (context aggregation, summaries, follow-ups)
  • Task routing and operational intelligence systems
  • End-to-end AI features integrated into a high-usage platform

What you'll do

  • Build and deploy AI-powered product features used by real customers
  • Design and implement agent-based systems that automate complex workflows
  • Work across the full product lifecycle (idea ? build ? production ? iteration)
  • Collaborate closely with Product, Design, and Engineering teams
  • Engage directly with users and iterate based on real feedback
  • Operate with high ownership in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment

Requirements

  • 5-8 years of software engineering experience
  • Strong product mindset and ability to operate independently
  • Experience shipping AI systems into production (LLMs, agents, RAG, etc.)
  • Solid backend fundamentals (APIs, systems design, scalability)
  • Full-stack capability (frontend proficiency is a plus)
  • Experience in startup or high-growth environments
  • Comfortable moving quickly and navigating ambiguity
  • Actively using AI tools (e.g., copilots, agents, LLM workflows) in daily work

Tech stack

  • Ruby on Rails
  • React / Next.js
  • TypeScript
  • GraphQL
  • PostgreSQL
  • AWS
