<p><span data-contrast="none">We're looking for an AI Engineer to contribute to the development and delivery of AI/ML systems. This role is ideal for an early-career engineer who is comfortable writing code, eager to take on real responsibility, and ready to grow their craft.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="none">In this role, you will work as a contributing member of a cross-functional team, building and supporting AI/ML models, pipelines, and the systems around them. You'll take ownership of well-scoped tasks, learn from more senior engineers, and steadily expand the surface area you can confidently deliver on. You'll be joining real, in-flight work where reliability and quality matter. You'll collaborate closely with experienced engineers to build new capabilities, improve existing systems, and develop the technical instincts that come from shipping things that matter.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="none"><span data-ccp-parastyle="heading 2">Why This Role Matters</span></span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"134245418":true,"134245529":true,"335559738":299,"335559739":299}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="none">At Robots & Pencils, we design AI systems for a human world.
