At Applied Labs, we’re building the platform for reliable AI agents that automate complex work. We are primarily an in-person company based in New York City.
Why this could be a fit
•
Trajectory: 10x growth in 4 months; strong momentum.
•
Ownership: High autonomy; own systems end‑to‑end.
•
Challenging problems: Design novel, reliable solutions for complex tasks.
•
Team quality: Early team from Harvard, MIT, Gemini, Meta.
What you’ll do
•
Own core agent systems from idea to production: orchestration, tool‑use, planning, memory, evals.
•
Architect for reliability: design agent loops and guardrails that hold up under real‑world edge cases.
•
Ship fast, learn faster: run experiments, measure outcomes, iterate weekly.
•
Collaborate tightly with the founders in NYC to set product direction, quality bars, and engineering culture.
•
Set the blueprint: your design decisions, documents, and code style become the standard for future hires.
You might thrive in this role if you:
•
Have shipped production systems end‑to‑end and love owning outcomes.
•
Care deeply about reliability, not just demos - tests, evals, and metrics matter to you.
•
Are product‑minded: you ask “what does the user need?” and then build the simplest thing that works.
•
Prefer in‑person collaboration and fast decision cycles.
•
Want to help define the engineering culture at a company that’s scaling quickly.
