[Hiring] Applied AI Engineer @Vor Systems

Role Description

Help us build the software that powers the global energy transition.

You will join our early AI team, working closely with the team on:

• Model strategy & agentic systems
• Data architecture & foundational pipelines
• Product direction & execution

What you’ll work on:

• Architect the core AI reasoning system and agentic workflows that plan, execute, and verify complex regulatory, financial, and spatial analyses.
• Build multimodal intelligence pipelines on Modal (OCR/VLMs) to uncover critical information in messy sources like scanned leases, permits, and engineering schematics.
• Integrate rigorous validation and evaluation frameworks into high-stakes workflows where correctness and reliability are paramount.
• Own AI-powered features end to end, from models and backend workflows to the interfaces customers use to review results and take action.

Qualifications

• Shipped production-grade LLM systems with deep experience in agentic orchestration, including multi-step planning, tool-use loops, and self-correction.
• Python expert with full-stack product experience, comfortable connecting AI workflows to APIs, databases, and user-facing interfaces.
• Enjoy turning messy, unstructured data (legal, financial, spatial, and conversational) into structured, usable, and intuitive insights.
• Reliability-obsessed and care deeply about observability, evaluation, and understanding how non-deterministic systems fail in the real world.
• Communicate clearly and thrive as an autonomous owner within a small, fast-moving founding team.

Requirements

• Experience with geospatial data, GIS tools, or mapping libraries.
• Experience adapting or fine-tuning open-source vision or language models.
• Experience with document-heavy domains or high-stakes financial/legal data.
• Experience with Modal, GPU-backed inference, or serving infrastructure such as vLLM.
• Experience building user-facing products with React and TypeScript.

Benefits

• Competitive market-based compensation with meaningful founding equity.
• The opportunity to shape the AI systems, architecture, and company culture from day one.
• Fully remote work with teammates across the US.
• Regular in-person time with the team when it makes sense.
• Flexible schedules and unlimited PTO with a two-week minimum and an emphasis on sustainability (pun intended).
