[Hiring] AI Engineer @Awesome Motive

Role Description

As an AI Engineer, you're responsible for designing, building, and shipping AI systems that real people use, from AI features inside products used on over 30 million websites to internal tools built on our behavioral and operational data.

• You're a self-starter who can define problems and ship solutions independently.
• You prioritize user needs over technical details.
• You're comfortable owning the full stack of an AI project.
• You verify everything before it ships; "The AI did it" is never your answer.
• You're an excellent communicator, able to explain complex decisions to non-technical stakeholders.
• You take pride in the quality and craftsmanship of your work.
• You have the curiosity and desire to learn and grow in the fast-evolving AI landscape.

• Building data pipelines for behavioral and operational data.
• Setting up evaluation and observability for continuous improvement.
• Owning the full path from model output to user interface.
• Evaluating and selecting appropriate models and frameworks.
• Observing user interactions to inform improvements.
• Writing clean, well-tested production-grade code.
• Documenting your work for team learning and reuse.
• Keeping up with the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
