Applied AI Engineer

Company Description: Well-funded AI infrastructure startup

Job Description:
As an Applied AI Engineer, you will own the 0→1 journey by turning vague customer use cases into working proofs-of-concept. You will aggressively experiment with memory retrieval, build rapid full-stack prototypes, and partner with Research to implement cutting-edge techniques. This role is critical for showcasing how AI agents can leverage long-term memory effectively.

Location: San Francisco, USA

• Work at the forefront of AI agent technology by building the industry's long-term memory layer

• Backed by top-tier VCs and well-capitalized to solve complex challenges in the LLM/RAG stack

• Join an office-first culture in San Francisco that prioritizes velocity, craftsmanship, and extreme ownership

What you will do:

• Build end-to-end proofs-of-concept (UI + APIs + data) that integrate AI memory into customer flows

• Experiment with embeddings, indexing, and hybrid search to optimize task-level quality and latency

• Collaborate with Research and Backend teams to prototype and hand off winning AI models and documentation

The ideal candidate:

• Full-stack fluency with Next.js/React and Python (FastAPI/Django) for rapid prototyping and deployment

• Hands-on experience with the LLM/RAG stack, including vector databases, retrieval strategies, and prompt engineering

• Proven track record of moving from idea to demo in days while maintaining high craftsmanship standards

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.

We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
