Applied AI Engineer

Headquarters: California
URL: http://growthfactory.vc


We’re looking for a Applied AI Engineer with strong technical skills, product instincts, and the ability to dive into complex system design. You’ll be hands-on with multiple early-stage projects across our venture studio, helping us validate opportunities and bring AI-driven products to life.
What you’ll do


Build core modules: Develop and maintain AI-powered features and systems across our in-house venture projects.


Optimize AI systems: Improve performance through prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), tool design, and scalable agent architectures.


Prototype rapidly: Validate new product ideas by shipping quick, testable prototypes that inform venture direction.


Engineer evaluation pipelines: Design automated evaluation systems to measure and improve model and product reliability.


Work full-stack: Contribute across the stack — from front-end evaluation dashboards and user-facing tools to backend systems (databases, caching, microservices).


Operate in hyperdrive: Switch contexts across multiple ventures, iterating quickly and collaborating with cross-functional founders and teams.


What we’re looking for


Strong programming fundamentals and a bias for clean, high-quality code.


Proficiency in Python and familiarity with AI/ML frameworks (e.g. LangChain, Hugging Face, PyTorch, TensorFlow, OpenAI APIs).


Solid backend knowledge: databases, caching, message queues, microservices.


Comfort with frontend prototyping for internal tools, dashboards, or MVPs.


Proven ability to work on zero-to-one products, ideally at startups or studios.


Strong written and verbal communication; our team is fully remote.


Experience with evaluation pipelines, vector databases, or applied ML in production.
