[Hiring] Applied AI Engineer @Action1

Role Description

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.

Technology choices and product decisions are not simply handed down from the top. You will have room to shape the solution, challenge assumptions, choose the right tools, and influence the result.

• 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

Qualifications

• 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

Requirements

• 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

Benefits

• Fully remote work, giving you the flexibility you need in the modern world
• A collaborative environment encouraging you to own your domain and implement best practices
• Stable income, benefits, flexible working hours, and opportunities for promotion
• Friendly and professional peers, eager to help and help you grow
• A multitude of interesting challenges and opportunities
