Applied AI Engineer

About the Job

Pulse is a fast‑growing enterprise sustainability platform. We need an engineer who can independently build and scale full‑stack products while designing and deploying reliable LLM‑powered systems and agent workflows in production.

• Build & Ship AI‑Powered Products
  • Design, develop, and deploy LLM‑powered applications and agent‑based systems in production
  • Own the full product lifecycle from concept to production and iteration across backend and frontend
  • Build scalable, maintainable systems that solve real customer problems
• Design & Operate GenAI Systems
  • Develop prompt strategies, context management (RAG, memory), and agent workflows
  • Integrate and optimize across leading LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, open‑source)
  • Continuously improve system quality, reliability, and performance
• Leverage AI‑First Development Workflows
  • Use AI‑assisted coding tools to accelerate development
  • Validate, test, and safely integrate AI‑generated code into production systems
  • Contribute to evolving best practices for AI‑first engineering
• Ensure Quality, Reliability & Performance
  • Own testing strategy including unit, integration, and end‑to‑end testing
  • Define and implement evaluation frameworks for AI outputs (quality, consistency, failure modes)
  • Debug production issues and optimize for latency, cost, and scalability
  • Take full ownership of system reliability and production stability
• Collaborate & Execute in Fast-Moving Environments
  • Translate ambiguous requirements into working solutions
  • Partner with product, design, and customer‑facing teams to deliver impactful features
  • Collaborate effectively with distributed and offshore engineering teams
• Advance AI & Product Capabilities (Nice to Have)
  • Build advanced agent systems (planning, orchestration, parallel execution)
  • Apply frameworks like Lang Chain, Lang Graph, or similar where appropriate
  • Explore fine‑tuning, evaluation frameworks, and benchmarking techniques
  • Contribute to intuitive, user‑friendly AI‑driven experiences and human‑in‑the‑loop workflows

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field preferred (or equivalent hands‑on experience)
• 1‑2 years of experience building AI‑powered applications and deploying LLM-powered applications or agents in production
• Experience integrating major LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, open‑source)
• Working knowledge of prompt design, context management (RAG, memory, tool use), and multi‑step/agentic workflows
• Ability to take products from concept to production and iteration across backend and frontend systems
• Practical experience using tools like Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI, Microsoft Copilot, including the ability to safely integrate AI‑generated code into production (validation, CI/CD)
• Experience debugging production issues, optimizing performance (latency, cost), and building maintainable systems
• Ability to define evaluation strategies for AI outputs and experience with AI‑driven testing and reliability practices

• High ownership and autonomy
• Opportunity to build products end‑to‑end using AI‑first workflows
• Work at the cutting edge of AI‑driven software development
• Fast‑moving, execution‑focused culture
• Contribute to a solution that helps the planet
