Applied AI Engineer, Ops
About The Position
Alloy is looking for an Applied AI Engineer to sit within our centralized Ops team and drive meaningful AI transformation across the entire business. This is a high-impact, cross-functional role for someone who loves finding inefficiencies, designing elegant solutions, and enabling people to work smarter. You'll be the connective tissue between cutting-edge AI capabilities and the practical, day-to-day needs of our teams — identifying where automation and AI can reduce toil, accelerate workflows, and unlock capacity for higher-value work. Alloy operates in a hybrid-work environment. We look to foster collaboration and community by having our local employees onsite three days a week.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience building with LLMs and AI APIs (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) in production environments
- Strong engineering fundamentals — comfortable writing clean, maintainable code in Python or similar
- Experience with workflow automation tools (e.g. Zapier, Make, n8n, or custom-built pipelines)
- A business-minded approach: you think about ROI and impact, not just technical elegance
- Excellent communication skills — you can explain complex AI concepts to non-technical stakeholders and bring people along on the journey
- Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward shipping
