## About the role

As an Applied AI Engineer, you will work on high-leverage initiatives at the intersection of AI systems, simulation infrastructure, and product development. You will improve existing capabilities, help prototype and evaluate promising company bets, and turn experimental ideas into reliable systems. The work is initiative-driven rather than defined by a fixed product roadmap or a single layer of the stack.
