Responsibilities

At Reedsy, our goal is to build the best ecosystem for writers, supporting them at every stage of their creative journey. Over the years, we've developed a suite of products, including a marketplace, book discovery platform, writing app, central authentication system, and email marketing tools.

As a publishing startup, we're thoughtful about how we integrate AI. As an AI Engineer, you'll help us empower authors to do more — enhancing creativity, not replacing it. You’ll focus on building intelligent features that support storytelling and streamline workflows.

In this role, you will:

• Design and implement AI-powered tools for authors (e.g. a narrative co-pilot, visual storyboarding assistant, etc.);

• Improve internal workflows by automating repetitive tasks and enhancing UX across our products;

• Build internal tools for AI development, including evaluation benchmarks and automated testing;

• Collaborate closely with engineers and operations teams to identify high-impact AI opportunities.

Requirements

• Proven experience integrating AI/ML into real-world products, with ownership of the full lifecycle — from modeling and evaluation to deployment and go-to-market execution.

• Experience working with large language models (e.g., prompt engineering, fine-tuning, model selection, retrieval-augmented generation)

• Familiarity with orchestration tools (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex, or custom chaining frameworks)

• Knowledge of hallucination detection and mitigation strategies

• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (preferably Google Cloud Platform) and scalable AI deployment

• Familiarity with embeddings, vector databases, and Elasticsearch

• Experience with AI developer tooling (e.g., Cursor, intelligent CI/CD, AI-powered QA)

Bonus Points

• Fluent in multiple languages. Reedsy welcomes applicants of all cultures and backgrounds.

• A good dose of ambition, a willingness to learn, and a great sense of humor

Benefits

• Work from home

• Paid paternal and maternal leave

• Annual team retreat
