Applied AI Engineer### Applied AI EngineerApply: Remote, Canada: Poland, Virtual: Remote, Germany: Full time: Posted Today: R60191Job Summary:You will build the AI runtime, retrieval, guardrails, and evaluation that make the platform's AI features work in production - with cost, latency, and safety treated as first-class engineering constraints. We build on proven commercial models and win on integration, domain knowledge, and evaluation discipline. You'll report to the Head of AI Platform Engineering and join a small, senior founding team building the platform from the ground up.

The prospect: ship AI that customers depend on daily in mission-critical workflows - not demos.We use proven commercial models and win on integration, retrieval, orchestration and safety validation. You will invest early in your customers' domain.

We ship AI that customers depend on daily. You will build reusable AI capability while enabling products to ship features fast.

As a found* ing AI hire, you will set the patterns and evaluation discipline the team adopts, and help hire the team.

- You will validate with product teams and customers and prioritise by value, building what moves outcomes rather than what is novel. What You'll DoAI Runtime and Orchestration Build and operate the runtime, tool calling and orchestration for production agent workflows.

Implement and tune retrieval (RAG) and grounding where it measurably improves quality.Evaluation, Safety and Quality Stand up evaluation harnesses and golden sets, and use them to make ship or no-ship calls and to catch regressions and drift.

Design and implement evaluation frameworks for model and agent quality.

Build guardrails and safety controls, treating retrieved content and tool outputs as untrusted.Production Ownership Own the production behaviour of what you ship,



including latency, cost, reliability and failure modes.

Delivering Value with Product and Customers Work with product teams and customers to validate results and outcomes, prioritising by value.

Instrument and measure impact, letting evidence rather than opinion drive what ships.

Build automated QA, including tests, quality gates and regression checks, into the delivery pipeline.Building the Team and Ways of Working Help build the team by setting evaluation and safety patterns others adopt, raising the bar in interviews and mentoring.

Foster a culture of technical excellence, customer obsession and pragmatic shipping.

What You'll BringWe look at demonstrated experience and scope, not years served, and we don't expect every candidate to tick every box.

Production AI: You have shipped software backed by LLMs or ML to real production users, beyond demos and notebooks.

You explain your thinking clearly to engineers, product partners and customers, and bring people along.

You focus on outcomes and value, and make pragmatic calls to ship. Bonus PointsAny of these strengthen an application; Languages: Strength in Python or C#/.NET.

Semantic data: Experience grounding AI in structured, well-modelled business data.

Experience building or operating enterprise-scale software, and its reliability, security and integration demands.

- AI-assisted engineering:** You use AI coding assistants productively and supervise their output with judgement. *Working both together and independently, our collective of businesses are committed to delivering software and technology solutions that help connect people with the places they need to go for work, family, and everyday life. Meaningful work, hard-working colleagues, intellectual stimulus, socially creative, purposefully driven, and many opportunities to learn and grow.
