Come build with us!
AI Engineer (Product)
Aura’s Applied AI team is building an entirely new digital safety experience based around an AI agent. The team is also building systems for safely evaluating, testing, and deploying this new technology. As an AI Engineer on this team, you'll help develop and ship customer-facing features powered by AI that will drive Aura's next generation of digital safety products.
Your work will have high visibility and broad impact. Instead of incremental updates, we are developing a powerful AI agent that delivers a step change in family digital safety—from proactively remediating identity theft to ensuring safe online experiences for kids.
You’ll join a group that brings the spirit of a startup to an established company, giving you both creative freedom and substantial resources. You’ll need to be comfortable breaking down and tackling large unsolved problems and be willing to work hard to ensure the safety of the products you build. You’ll be working at the forefront of generative AI technologies and building products that don’t yet exist in the commercial space.
What you’ll do:
- Design, develop, and deploy agentic AI products that integrate with Aura's existing products and services
- Build evaluation and monitoring frameworks for AI products in production
- Contribute to the development of our agent framework and capabilities
- Help establish best practices for AI development and deployment
What you bring to the table:
- Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, related quantitative field or equivalent experience
- Demonstrated effectiveness delivering new products in research or startup environments
- 4+ years of software engineering and/or product engineering experience
- Strong Python programming skills
- Experience with either traditional ML or generative AI
- Comfort with ambiguity and self-directing work
- Experience with LLMs and generative AI technologies (personal projects included)
- Experience monitoring ML systems in production
What makes you a great fit:
- You thrive in environments with significant uncertainty and enjoy defining problems as much as solving them
- You're passionate about generative AI technology and stay current with the latest developments
- You're comfortable taking initiative on new concepts without detailed direction
- You're excited about joining a growing team and helping shape its culture and direction
- You're willing to work flexible hours occasionally, including some extended hours and weekends as needed
