Opportunity Description
A1 is building a proactive AI system that understands context across conversations, plans actions, and carries work forward over time.
As an Applied AI Engineer, you will turn model capabilities into real product behavior. You will own problems end-to-end, from shaping model behavior, to building the systems around it, to ensuring it performs reliably in production.
This role sits at the intersection of machine learning, systems, and product, focusing on making AI actually work for users, not just in demos, but in real-world usage.
Focus
- Build and ship AI features end-to-end (model → system → user experience)
- Design and iterate on prompts, tools, memory, and agent workflows
- Turn raw model outputs into structured, reliable, and predictable behaviors
- Debug issues across the full stack (model, orchestration, infra, UX)
- Optimize for latency, cost, and production reliability
- Develop lightweight e...
