Applied AI Engineer

When Plotwell looks at a file and decides the story is revenue by month with churn under it, that judgement comes from a model and a lot of careful scaffolding. You own that.

This is an applied role with a product output. You decide what good chart selection looks like, keep the model honest, and make the routing layer earn its keep.

• Own the prompts and the JSON contract for chart selection and takeaways.
• Build the evaluation set: real spreadsheets with known good dashboards, run on every change.
• Keep Plotwell model-agnostic, and measure when a cheaper model is good enough.
• Work with engineering on the grounding check that drops ungrounded numbers.

• Four or more years shipping software, with real language-model work behind you.
• You evaluate rather than vibe-check, and you can prove a change helped.
• You are comfortable owning a fuzzy problem with a measurable output.
• You want the model to be the smallest, best-scaffolded part of the system.

A thirty minute call with a founder, then a paid work session on a real problem from our backlog, three to four hours, then conversations with two people you would work alongside. Four steps, usually inside two weeks, and we tell you where you stand at every one.
