Job Description
Applied AI Engineer
LI.FI
• Own the end-to-end build of internal AI tools and automations: requirements gathering, stakeholder alignment, design, implementation, deployment, and iteration. • Translate ambiguity into product — distill a team's needs into a coherent plan and present it back to stakeholders in a way that gets buy-in. • Build on a shared substrate — contribute to the common TypeScript layer that internal AI tools at LI.FI are built on, so your work compounds with everyone else's. • Close collaboration with business teams — sit with BD, ops, legal, HR, finance, marketing, or customer service to deeply understand their workflows, pain points, and opportunities for AI leverage. • Think holistically — over time, help shape LI.FI's overall internal AI strategy rather than shipping isolated one-off automations. • Work cross-functionally — collaborate with shared resources such as DevOps and Security through our standard prioritization workflow.
Job Requirements
- TypeScript proficiency — this is our minimum technical bar, since you will be contributing to our shared substrate layer.
- Demonstrable, AI-native engineering experience — work we can actually look at. GitHub projects, open source contributions, or working implementations using LLM tooling, agent libraries, or AI frameworks.
- DevOps & Security: knowledge and understanding of best practices and foreseeable challenges.
- Drive and curiosity — someone who builds things on their own time, not because they were assigned to.
- Structured independence — able to manage projects end-to-end without hand-holding, while staying coordinated with stakeholders.
- Growth mindset — we are hiring for trajectory, not credentials. We care more about how you think and learn than about the brand of your CV.
- Strong written and verbal communication — you will be the bridge between business stakeholders and AI capabilities.
Benefits
- Annual team offsites (Thailand in 2023, Vietnam in 2024, Marrakech in 2025, Crete in 2026; memories we'll never forget. Already dreaming about where 2027 will take us!)
- 30 days of PTO
- Flexible remote days
- Flexible working hours
- Equity participation from day 1
- Entitlement to work computer (choice of equipment)
- An annual 1,000€ personal development budget once you have worked 6+ months (pro-rated the first year)
- A one-time 1,000€ remote budget to use on coworking, office setup, etc.
- If you join us as an independent contractor, you’re only entitled to the first five benefits of this list.
