Job Description

Future is seeking a highly skilled Applied AI Engineer to join our innovative team. This role is instrumental in developing and deploying AI-powered features that directly enhance our product experience and drive significant business outcomes.

You will be responsible for taking AI ideas from concept to production, designing intelligent systems, validating them with real users, and transforming them into reliable, scalable services. This is a hands-on, product-focused position where you will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to identify high-impact opportunities, prototype rapidly, and iterate based on data-driven insights.

The ideal candidate is passionate about applying LLMs and modern ML tooling to solve real-world challenges. You will focus on systems, tradeoffs, and outcomes, with a keen eye on production performance, quality, latency, and cost. Your motivation will stem from shipping impactful AI experiences that customers genuinely use and value.

Key Responsibilities

Build and ship AI agents that serve real users: tool-calling LLM systems with structured output, parallel API orchestration, and streaming responses.
Design evaluation harnesses and quality scoring — we use Langfuse, rubrics to measure safety, effectiveness, and personalization.
Own the full loop: prototype a new agent capability, validate it with evals, deploy it to staging and production, monitor traces, and iterate.
Improve reliability, latency, and cost through prompt caching strategies, token budgets, retry logic, and observability.
Write the tools agents use: API integrations with Pydantic validation, exercise search over local databases, structured workout submission.

Qualifications

Strong Python skills: you've built and deployed services on large production systems.
Experience with LangChain/LangGraph or similar agent frameworks.
Hands-on experience with LLMs in production: prompt engineering, tool/function calling, structured output, evaluation.
Comfort with async Python, HTTP APIs, and streaming protocols (SSE, webhooks).
Experience with data validation and schema design (Pydantic, JSON Schema).
Ability to debug across layers: from a broken LLM tool call to a misconfigured Terraform resource.
Clear communication: you'll work directly with product, mobile, and backend engineers.

Benefits & Perks

Base Salary $ 215,000– $ 250,000/ year + equity.
Equity participation offered alongside base compensation.
Comprehensive medical, vision, dental, and disability insurance plus tax savings accounts for all eligible employees.
401(k) plan with tax-advantaged savings options.
