About The Position

As an AI-First Developer on the R&D team, you will build AI-powered internal tools and data-driven systems that help teams across the organization make better decisions. You will work with behavioral and operational data from over 30 million websites that use our products - WPForms, MonsterInsights, OptinMonster, Easy Digital Downloads, and more - and turn that data into analytics platforms, reporting automation, workflow intelligence, and AI-powered features that real teams use every day. This is not a WordPress development role. WordPress familiarity is a bonus for product context, but the core of this role is AI/ML engineering on top of an extraordinary data asset. You will sit between a Full Stack AI Developer and an AI ML Engineer - strong enough on the ML and data side to work intelligently with large-scale operational data, and product-minded enough to build tools that teams actually adopt.

Requirements

• 3+ years of professional experience building AI/ML systems in production environments (not just POCs or hackathon projects).
• Strong proficiency in Python, including production-grade practices - proper packaging, testing, type hints, async where appropriate.
• Hands-on experience with LLM frameworks and tools: LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar. You should be able to build a RAG pipeline from scratch.
• Experience with vector databases (Pinecone, ChromaDB, FAISS, Qdrant, or similar) and embedding models.
• Solid understanding of ML fundamentals - not just API calls, but how models work, when to fine-tune vs prompt engineer, how to evaluate properly.
• Experience building and deploying APIs (FastAPI, Flask, or similar) that serve ML models in production.
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Experience with data processing at scale - SQL, pandas, Spark, or similar.
• Competent with version control through Git and GitHub. Clean commit history, proper branching, code review through PRs.
• The ability to iterate and ship ideas quickly without sacrificing code quality.
• Exceptional troubleshooting skills - when something breaks in production at scale, you can diagnose it.
• Ability to keep complex systems simple. Simplicity is a core value.
• Previous remote work experience. You know how to manage your time, communicate proactively, and stay productive without supervision.
• Personal computer with reliable internet access.
• Availability to participate in audio/video meetings and be available on Slack between the hours of 9 AM - 1 PM EST daily.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with model fine-tuning (PEFT, LoRA, QLoRA) and quantization techniques for cost optimization.
• Experience building multi-agent systems using CrewAI, LangGraph, AutoGen, or similar frameworks.
• Familiarity with MLOps practices - model versioning, drift monitoring, experiment tracking (MLflow, Weights & Biases, etc).
• Experience with Databricks, AWS SageMaker, or similar ML platforms.
• Published research, open-source contributions, or technical writing that demonstrates depth of understanding.
• Familiarity with the WordPress ecosystem, PHP, or SaaS product development. Understanding the end user (small business owners, bloggers, ecommerce operators) is valuable context.
• Experience building internal tools and data platforms that non-technical teams rely on daily.
• Experience with MCP (Model Context Protocol), function calling, structured output, or similar LLM integration patterns.

Responsibilities

• Building AI-powered internal tools and data-driven systems used across the organization - analytics platforms, reporting automation, workflow intelligence.
• Developing AI/ML-driven platforms that process and analyze large-scale operational data from 30M+ sites across our product suite.
• Designing and deploying RAG systems, LLM-powered features, and agentic workflows that generate actionable insights for internal teams.
• Building data pipelines that ingest, transform, and serve behavioral and operational data at scale.
• Prototyping and shipping AI solutions that streamline internal processes, reduce manual effort, and improve decision-making.
• Evaluating and selecting the right models, frameworks, and infrastructure for each use case - balancing performance, cost, and latency.
• Writing clean, well-tested, production-grade Python code with proper error handling, logging, and observability.
• Collaborating with product teams and stakeholders to understand what they need, then building tools they actually use.
• Keeping up with the rapidly evolving AI landscape and bringing new ideas, tools, and approaches to the team.
• Communicating with the team and supporting your peers using chat, audio, and video.

Benefits

• Competitive Salary.
• Term Life Insurance and Accidental Death & Dismemberment for all full-time team members during their employment.
• Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance benefits for full-time U.S. employees.
• Health Insurance benefits for all employees in Argentina, Brazil, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Jamaica, Kenya, Mexico, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Spain, and Ukraine.
• Work from your home.
• Flexible PTO after 90 days of employment.
• Holidays (based on your location)
• Paid Parental Leave.
• Reimbursement for software, books, or courses that promote continued learning.
• Coverage for all costs of company travel (including our annual all-company retreat and mini-team meetups).
• Additional Perks include AM Welcome Box for new team members, Yearly Anniversary Gifts, and Technology Stipend each work anniversary.
