The RoleWe're looking for an applied AI engineer to help us build the next generation of Atlas - starting with an AI-powered travel and hotel concierge used by some of the most influential people in the world.
You'll design and ship real-world AI systems that personalize recommendations, automate complex requests, and rethink how payments, dining, and travel can work at the highest level.
This is a rare opportunity to work on meaningful, user-facing AI products inside a small, world-class team.
What You'll Build- AI recommendation and booking flows (hotels, dining, flights)
- Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems for dynamic hotel and travel searches
- Preference engines that learn and evolve from member interactions
- Lightweight AI orchestration layers integrated with Zendesk, Slack, and our internal tools
What We're Looking ForWe believe determined and passionate people can adapt to any tech stack. Ideally, you have:
- 5+ years experience developing software in modern environments (Python, Node.js, Go, or similar)
- 3+ years experience deploying and scaling cloud-based applications (AWS, GCP, or similar)
- Deep experience integrating LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Hugging Face) and building production AI systems
- Knowledge of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), embeddings, and vector search (Pinecone, FAISS, or similar)
- Solid understanding of database design (Postgres, Redis, vector DBs)
- Strong optimization skills, especially for low-latency, high-availability systems
- Product instincts - you think about the end experience, not just the technical specs
- Collaboration skills and a desire to work tightly with product, design, and operations
Why You'll Love Working Here- Real impact: You'll help define how AI changes luxury travel, payments, and experiences for the most discerning customers in the world.
- Early stage, no bureaucracy: We're lean, well funded, growing fast, and moving faster.
- Creative, high-caliber teammates: Our team comes from places like Shopify, Apple, Y Combinator startups - but what matters most here is what you build.
- Solid compensation: Competitive salary and meaningful equity - you're helping build the foundation of Atlas.
- Fun problem space: Every day involves designing tech that makes luxury travel, dining, and payments feel seamless.
