Senior Applied AI Engineer
Alembic, San Francisco HQ
The role
We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer onto our Applied AI team to build and extend the backend systems that power our platform. This is a hands-on role on a small team where your work ships to production quickly and directly shapes what our largest customers see. You'll work across Python-heavy backend services, data systems, and the infrastructure layer that connects them to our GPU-resident compute.
A note on "Applied AI." Our work is causal, not generative AI. The "AI" in Applied AI refers to the causal, graph-based, and neural systems our science team builds — and your job is to make them fast, reliable, and usable in production. If you're looking for prompt engineering or LLM fine-tuning work, this isn't the role. If you want to build serious backend systems that happen to serve some of the most interesting applied science work being done anywhere, read on.
