Role Description As a Founding Applied AI Engineer at Valent, you will help design and build the core intelligence layer of the product. This role is focused on applying modern AI techniques to messy enterprise problems involving documents, retrieval, reasoning, workflow automation, and human-in-the-loop review. - Help build systems that extract structured information from supplier documents, specifications, certificates, declarations, questionnaires, audit evidence, and regulatory files. - Power AI-assisted workflows for document collection, evidence packet assembly, customer requests, and audit preparation. - Use retrieval, ranking, and document understanding to help users find the right evidence across fragmented sources. - Generate draft responses, summaries, checklists, and compliance artifacts that remain reviewable and auditable by humans. - Build evaluation pipelines to measure quality, reduce hallucination, and improve reliability over time. - Design AI workflows that know when to act autonomously and when to escalate to a human. - Integrate AI features into a polished enterprise product experience. Qualifications - Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience shipping production systems. - Hands-on experience building with LLMs, retrieval systems, document AI, agents, or applied machine learning systems. - Ability to take AI systems from prototype to production. - Comfortable working across the stack when needed. - Ability to write clean, maintainable code and make sound technical tradeoffs. - Care about reliability, observability, testing, and product quality. - Ability to reason from first principles about when AI should automate, assist, or stay out of the way. - Interest in solving messy operational problems, not just building polished demos. - Clear communication in writing and comfort working remotely. - Ability to overlap for part of the day with U.S. Eastern Time. - Desire to join early and help shape the foundation of a company. Requirements - Experience with LLM application development. - Familiarity with RAG systems and vector databases. - Experience in document parsing, OCR, extraction, or classification. - Knowledge of evaluation frameworks for AI systems. - Experience in workflow automation or agentic systems. - Background in enterprise SaaS. - Familiarity with compliance, supply chain, manufacturing, regulatory, or quality workflows. - Experience with React, TypeScript, Node.js, Python, Postgres, or cloud infrastructure. Benefits - Work remotely from India on a U.S.-based enterprise AI product. - Build AI into workflows where the value is operational, measurable, and immediate. - Join early enough to have meaningful influence over architecture, product, and culture. - Work on hard problems at the intersection of AI, enterprise workflow, compliance, and manufacturing. - Help define what modern compliance operations software should look like.
