Build the AI workers that help teams keep their plan, numbers and meetings up to date.

About the role

Worker’s AI workers help prepare the weekly leadership meeting and follow up on to-dos, so owners don’t have to chase every task. As an AI engineer, you build these features and make sure teams can trust what they do.

You’ll work with the AI team, with product, and with the product and engineering team in Prague. You own AI features from the first test to launch, and you measure how well they work after.

What you’ll do

  • Build AI features that prepare the weekly meeting and follow up on to-dos.
  • Design tests and evals that measure quality before and after each launch.
  • Choose the right model and setup for each task, and keep costs in check.
  • Work with product to put AI where it helps teams most.
  • Watch how teams use each feature and fix what goes wrong.
  • Ship AI features into the product with engineers in Prague.
  • Keep every company’s data private and safe.

What you bring

  • 3+ years building software, including AI features in production.
  • Experience with large language models and evals.
  • Strong coding skills.
  • Good judgment about when AI helps and when it doesn’t.
  • Clear writing about what you tested and what you found.

Meet most of these? Please apply. We care more about what you can do than a perfect match.

Nice to have

  • Experience building AI features for business software.
  • Experience with retrieval, agents or tool use in production.

Our stack: Python, PostgreSQL, AWS and Kubernetes.

Your first 90 days

  1. Month 1Learn the product and our AI features, and ship your first improvement.
  2. Month 2Own one AI feature, set up its evals and make it clearly better.
  3. Month 3Lead a new AI feature with product, from first test to launch.

How you’ll live our values

  • See it. Own it.If an AI feature gives a wrong answer, you own it. Your name is on what you ship, even when a model wrote it.
  • Learn. Improve. Repeat.You put AI features in front of real teams early, see where they push back, and make the next version better.
  • Say the hard thing.If AI is the wrong answer for a problem, you say so, even when it’s the exciting option.
  • Stay until they win.An AI feature isn’t done at launch. It’s done when teams trust it enough to run their week with it.
