• As an Applied AI Engineer, you will design, implement, and optimize AI-driven features, integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) and multimodal AI solutions into our technology stack.
• Your work will directly impact how our customers interact with and benefit from AI-powered experiences, bridging cutting-edge research with practical, scalable applications.
• Essential functions include designing, building, and integrating AI models, focusing on LLM integration, fine-tuning, and prompt engineering.
• You will develop and deploy multimodal AI solutions that combine text, image, audio, and other data sources to deliver enhanced user experiences.
• Collaborating closely with Product, Data Science, and Engineering teams to identify opportunities for AI-driven innovation is crucial.
• You will optimize model performance for accuracy, efficiency, and scalability in production environments.
• Implementing AI toolchains, pipelines, and frameworks to accelerate experimentation and deployment is part of the role.
• Staying ahead of emerging AI research, frameworks, and best practices, and translating them into practical engineering solutions is expected.
• You will contribute to the company’s AI strategy, ensuring our architecture supports rapid iteration and experimentation.

Requirements:

• You must have 4+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 2 years focused on applied AI or machine learning.
• Proven experience with LLM integration (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, Hugging Face) and fine-tuning on domain-specific data is required.
• Familiarity with multimodal AI systems and related tooling (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex, vector databases) is necessary.
• Strong proficiency in Python and at least one modern frontend or backend framework (e.g., React, Node.js, FastAPI, Flask) is essential.
• Experience with ML lifecycle tools (MLflow, Weights & Biases) and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) is required.
• You should have the ability to translate ambiguous product goals into AI-powered solutions with measurable impact.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills to work across disciplines and explain complex AI concepts to non-technical stakeholders are necessary.
• Curiosity, adaptability, and a passion for building real-world AI applications that make a difference are important traits.
