[Hiring] Applied AI Engineer @Foley

Role Description

We are looking for an Applied AI Engineer to help us make Foley truly AI-native — not by layering tools on top, but by rethinking how work gets done across the company. You’ll operate as a forward-deployed builder, embedded with business teams to identify high-leverage problems and ship real solutions. This is a hands-on role where you’ll design, build, and deploy AI-powered systems that improve how we operate, make decisions, and deliver value. This is not a research role. You build, you ship, and you measure impact.

What You’ll Do

• Build & Ship Solutions
  • Design and build AI-powered systems end-to-end, including agentic workflows, internal tools, automation pipelines, and business applications.
  • Own your work from concept through production, including iteration and improvement.
  • Use AI-assisted development and modern tooling to move quickly without sacrificing quality.
• Embed with the Business
  • Work directly with operations, compliance, sales, and product teams to understand real workflows and pain points.
  • Translate ambiguous, messy processes into clear, scalable systems.
  • Operate as part of cross-functional “tiger teams” focused on high-impact problems.
• Drive Outcomes, Not Just Output
  • Define success metrics and measure whether your solutions improve speed, quality, or decision-making.
  • Close the loop by evaluating what worked, what didn’t, and what to improve.
• Build for Scale & Reuse
  • Design composable solutions that integrate into the broader platform.
  • Think in reusable capabilities, not one-off scripts.
• Operate with Judgment & Guardrails
  • Build with awareness of regulatory constraints (DOT, FMCSA, PII).
  • Apply strong judgment when using AI to ensure quality, trust, and compliance.
• Contribute to the Builder Community
  • Share patterns, tools, and learnings with other engineers and teams.
  • Review work and help raise the bar for how we build.

Qualifications

• You have built and shipped real products, tools, or systems (portfolio, GitHub, or equivalent).
• You are fluent in Python, including APIs, data handling, and deployment patterns.
• You have hands-on experience building with LLMs (e.g., prompting, tool use, RAG, agents).
• You think in systems and can map business workflows to technical solutions.
• You communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Requirements

• You’ve built and deployed multi-step or tool-using AI systems.
• You’ve worked with orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, CrewAI, MCP).
• You’ve built solutions involving document processing, structured extraction, or voice.
• You’ve implemented observability for AI systems (e.g., Langfuse, LangSmith).
• You understand knowledge graphs or entity resolution.
• You’ve worked in regulated environments (transportation, finance, healthcare, compliance).
• You’ve independently taken a process from “this is broken” to a shipped solution.

Not Required

• A specific degree or traditional background.
• Experience at large tech companies.
• ML research or publications.
• Deep infrastructure or DevOps specialization.
