AI Application Engineer

About the Job Opportunity

We are seeking a skilled AI Application Engineer to design, develop, and deploy production-grade applications powered by Large Language Models (LLMs). This role combines traditional software engineering best practices with cutting-edge techniques to orchestrate LLM workflows and build agentic systems. The ideal candidate is passionate about leveraging AI to create robust, scalable, and data-driven solutions, with a focus on experimentation, evaluation, and continuous improvement. 

What You’ll Do  

• Design and implement production-grade applications that integrate LLMs to deliver intelligent, user-centric solutions. 

• Develop and orchestrate complex LLM workflows to enable agentic systems capable of autonomous decision-making and task execution. 

• Apply software engineering best practices, including modular design, testing, and CI/CD, to ensure high-quality, maintainable codebases. 

• Utilize a data-driven approach to develop, evaluate, and optimize LLM interactions, incorporating metrics, experimentation, and iterative research. 

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including data scientists, product managers, and UX designers, to align AI solutions with business objectives. 

• Stay up-to-date with emerging AI technologies, tools, and frameworks to drive innovation in application development. 

• Deploy and manage applications on cloud platforms, ensuring scalability, reliability, and security. 

What You’ll Bring  

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience). 

• Proven experience in software engineering, including designing, developing, and deploying production-grade applications. 

• Strong understanding of data-driven development, including experimentation, evaluation, and optimization of AI models and interactions. 

• Knowledge of agentic systems and their applications in automating complex tasks. 

• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. 

Who We Want to Meet  

• Hands-on expertise with Genkit for orchestrating LLM workflows and building agentic systems. 

• Familiarity with Firebase for rapid development, authentication, and real-time data management. 

• Strong proficiency in TypeScript for building robust, type-safe applications. 

• Experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP), including Vertex AI and Gemini, for deploying and managing AI workloads. 

• Experience with other cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure) and their AI/ML services. 

• Familiarity with additional AI frameworks or libraries for building and evaluating LLM-based applications. 

• Background in researching and experimenting with LLMs to improve performance and user experience. 

• Understanding of DevOps practices, including containerization (e.g., Docker) and orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes). 

Why Join Us? 

• Work on cutting-edge AI applications that push the boundaries of what’s possible with LLMs. 

• Collaborate with a talented team passionate about innovation and impact. 

• Access to state-of-the-art tools and technologies in a supportive, growth-oriented environment. 

• Contribute to building scalable, agentic systems that solve real-world problems. 

Reporting Structure 

This position reports directly to the VP of Business Technology and will collaborate closely with senior leaders across operations, finance, sales, and customer service. 

Benefits & Perks   

• Competitive compensation package with salary, incentives, company ownership/equity, and comprehensive benefits (401k match, health, college debt reduction, and more!) 

• Career and professional development through training, coaching and new experiences. 

• Hybrid culture with new & beautiful workspaces that balance flexibility, collaboration, and productivity. 

• Inclusive and diverse community of passionate professionals learning and growing together.
