Applied AI Engineer

AssemblyAI, San Francisco, New York, London +3

The role

If you've ever felt buried under layers of bureaucracy, starved of real ownership, or frustrated watching your work disappear into a slow-moving org, AssemblyAI is built differently. The company operates as a true meritocracy, with no heavy planning or approval processes and no gatekeeping on the tools or information you need. For anyone who genuinely cares about voice AI, not as a trend to chase, but as a technology to build, this is the place where the most interesting problems at the most interesting scale are being solved by a team small enough that you'll actually know everyone's name.

Applied AI Engineers are the technical half of every deal at AssemblyAI. You'll partner with two Digital Native Account Executives and own the technical side of their book: from the first conversation with customers, to helping them win technical evaluations, to driving successful technical implementations.

Our digital native customers are the fastest-growing AI companies building with voice: voice agents, AI notetakers, dictation, and conversation intelligence. They move fast and test on their own, so speed matters at every step.
