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
