Applied AI Engineer

An Applied AI Engineer here thinks in workflows and model behaviour, not benchmarks or isolated prompts. The inputs are genuinely hard: 400-page technical files, scanned forms, tables that were never meant to be parsed, documents where a single misread classification has consequences. The bar is not a good demo. The bar is a system a reviewer trusts on a Tuesday afternoon with a deadline.

You own AI surface area end to end: what the system should do, the prompts, the agent design and tool use, the evals that catch regressions before customers do, the monitoring, and the iteration after it's live. You'll sit in customer calls, read the real documents, and look at hundreds of real outputs, because that's where the failure modes actually are. You'll ship to production in your first week.
