Full Job Description
What You'll DoAs an Applied AI Engineer, you'll design and build the intelligence layer of FLORA - systems that make multi-modal creative workflows powerful, reliable, and intuitive. You'll work on problems at the intersection of AI, orchestration, and interaction design: bringing together text, image, and video models into seamless workflows that creatives can actually trust and enjoy using.

You'll collaborate across product, infra, and design to build agentic features that let creatives speak their idea into existence while maintaining control.

Requirements
  • Hands-on experience building agentic systems - e.g. multi-step pipelines, tool-using agents, assistants with memory, or similar.
  • Familiarity with evaluation frameworks (automated checks, regression testing, human-in-the-loop scoring) to ensure system reliability.
  • Experience with memory and retrieval (vector DBs, embeddings, summarization, context management).
  • Strong background in orchestration across models, APIs, and tools - including handling retries, fallbacks, and edge cases.
  • Comfortable reasoning about multi-modal workflows (text, image, video) and their integration in a user-facing product.
  • Ability to work across the stack (frontend, backend, infra) and collaborate closely with product and design.
  • Product-minded - you care as much about usability and creative control as you do about technical novelty.
  • 3+ years of engineering experience
  • Bonus: experience with creative tools, generative models, or node-based interfaces.
