Applied AI Engineer
About the role
You'll work at the application layer — turning model capability into shipped product surfaces, with close attention to reliability, UX, and the edge cases that show up once real users start relying on the system.
What you'll do
- Build production LLM-backed application features end to end
- Design prompts, context strategy, and fallback behavior for real usage
- Instrument features for quality monitoring and iterate against real data
- Collaborate closely with design and product on human-in-the-loop UX
What we're looking for
- 3+ years of production software engineering experience
- Experience shipping at least one LLM-backed feature to production
- Comfortable working across the full stack
Nice to have
- Experience with Next.js and React
- Experience with evaluation tooling
