Applied Labs builds and deploys human-in-the-loop AI agents and a platform for customer support and operations automation, enabling enterprises and SMBs to customize and operate AI-driven workflows.
About us - At Applied Labs, we’re building the platform for reliable AI agents that automate complex work. We are primarily an in-person company based in New York City. Why this could be a fit - Trajectory: 10x growth in 4 months; strong momentum. - Ownership: High autonomy; own systems end‑to‑end. - Challenging problems: Design novel, reliable solutions for complex tasks. - Team quality: Early team from Harvard, MIT, Gemini, Meta. What you’ll do - Own core agent systems from idea to production: orchestration, tool‑use, planning, memory, evals. - Architect for reliability: design agent loops and guardrails that hold up under real‑world edge cases. - Ship fast, learn faster: run experiments, measure outcomes, iterate weekly. - Collaborate tightly with the founders in NYC to set product direction, quality bars, and engineering culture. - Set the blueprint: your design decisions, documents, and code style become the standard for future hires. You might thrive in this role if you: - Have shipped production systems end‑to‑end and love owning outcomes. - Care deeply about reliability, not just demos - tests, evals, and metrics matter to you. - Are product‑minded: you ask “what does the user need?” and then build the simplest thing that works. - Prefer in‑person collaboration and fast decision cycles. - Want to help define the engineering culture at a company that’s scaling quickly. Our tools - We currently build with Python, Go, React, Clickhouse, K8s, Bazel, Postgres, GCP, Modal - We hire for ability, not checklists. Compensation & benefits - Competitive salary + significant equity - Flexible (Unlimited) Paid Time Off - Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits for you and your family - Fancy lunches (think Nubiani), as well as snacks, coffee, or boba that always hits the spot - Relocation support to NYC if needed.
