Factory Ventures: Applied AI Engineer

Growth Factory Ventures:
Applied AI Engineer

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.

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.

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

Proficiency in Python and familiarity with AI/ML frameworks (e.g. Lang Chain, Hugging Face, PyTorch, Tensor Flow, 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.
