Senior Applied AI Engineer
Sauna, San Francisco
The role
As a Senior Applied AI Engineer, you’ll be responsible for building, refining, and scaling the agent systems inside Sauna, from architecture to evals to deployment. This is a senior seat. You own those systems, and when one breaks for a customer, that's on you.
We care about what works in production: fast response times, predictable behavior, traceability, and uptime.
A lot of what you'll decide has no playbook yet. We want someone who has already made calls like these on a real agent system and can tell us how they turned out.
You’ll work across infra, frontend, and product to make sure the agents people build inside Wordware actually work. You'll also have a say in how the rest of the team builds them.
What you need
Heads-up: this is a senior role. We're looking for someone who has run an agent system in production and made the architecture calls on it.
