About the role

We're growing our Applied AI team to dramatically increase productivity across Engineering, Sales, Support, and Operations, and to ship AI-powered products that customers rely on directly. As an Applied AI Engineer, you'll design and ship production AI systems that change how WorkOS builds, sells, supports, and scales. You’ll also be building things that WorkOS customers use, and systems that the entire company depends on daily.

What they're looking for

  • You've taken AI-powered systems from idea to production and through at least one iteration cycle with real users
  • Strong engineering fundamentals. You're comfortable owning services, data flows, and integrations end-to-end
  • Experience building with LLM APIs
  • You think about failure modes, observability, and ownership, not just whether the demo works
  • Bias toward action. You care less about the model and more about removing real bottlenecks, saving hours, or unlocking workflows the company couldn't do before
  • Comfort with ambiguity and fast change. The problem, the tools, and the "right" patterns are all evolving, you're excited to help define them
