Applied AI Engineer (Mid-Level)

About the Role

Join a fast-moving, pre-seed-backed AI startup building the next generation of agentic systems that automate complex, multi-step workflows across regulated and enterprise domains — including healthcare, legal, fintech, logistics, and compliance. As a mid-level AI Engineer on the core product team, you'll own production LLM-based services end-to-end, collaborate closely with founders and product, and ship features that deliver measurable impact for real users.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and maintain agentic systems that automate complex, multi-step workflows across regulated industries.
• Own production retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines and retrieval infrastructure, including vector databases, embeddings, and indexing for domain-specific search at scale.
• Implement multi-agent orchestration, tool-calling, memory, and reasoning components to deliver robust AI-driven user experiences.
• Develop evaluation and safety infrastructure to measure model performance, surface regressions, and enforce enterprise-level trust and reliability.
• Ship full-stack AI products from MVP to enterprise-grade — designing APIs and data models, writing frontend and backend code, and operating production systems with CI/CD, monitoring, and testing.
• Collaborate with founders, product, and design to prioritize work, define success metrics, and iterate based on user feedback and telemetry.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: $180,000 – $400,000 USD annually.
• Early-stage equity in a venture-backed startup.
