About The Position

We are looking for an Applied AI Engineer to help us make Foley truly AI-native — not by layering tools on top, but by rethinking how work gets done across the company.
You’ll operate as a forward-deployed builder, embedded with business teams to identify high-leverage problems and ship real solutions. This is a hands-on role where you’ll design, build, and deploy AI-powered systems that improve how we operate, make decisions, and deliver value.
This is not a research role. You build, you ship, and you measure impact.

Requirements

• You have built and shipped real products, tools, or systems (portfolio, GitHub, or equivalent)
• You are fluent in Python, including APIs, data handling, and deployment patterns
• You have hands-on experience building with LLMs (e.g., prompting, tool use, RAG, agents)
• You think in systems and can map business workflows to technical solutions
• You communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Nice To Haves

• You’ve built and deployed multi-step or tool-using AI systems
• You’ve worked with orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, CrewAI, MCP)
• You’ve built solutions involving document processing, structured extraction, or voice
• You’ve implemented observability for AI systems (e.g., Langfuse, LangSmith)
• You understand knowledge graphs or entity resolution
• You’ve worked in regulated environments (transportation, finance, healthcare, compliance)
• You’ve independently taken a process from “this is broken” to a shipped solution

Responsibilities

• Design and build AI-powered systems end-to-end, including agentic workflows, internal tools, automation pipelines, and business applications
• Own your work from concept through production, including iteration and improvement
• Use AI-assisted development and modern tooling to move quickly without sacrificing quality
• Work directly with operations, compliance, sales, and product teams to understand real workflows and pain points
• Translate ambiguous, messy processes into clear, scalable systems
• Operate as part of cross-functional “tiger teams” focused on high-impact problems
• Define success metrics and measure whether your solutions improve speed, quality, or decision-making
• Close the loop by evaluating what worked, what didn’t, and what to improve
• Design composable solutions that integrate into the broader platform
• Think in reusable capabilities, not one-off scripts
• Build with awareness of regulatory constraints (DOT, FMCSA, PII)
• Apply strong judgment when using AI to ensure quality, trust, and compliance
• Share patterns, tools, and learnings with other engineers and teams
• Review work and help raise the bar for how we build

Benefits

• Foley offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k) with company match, paid time off and holidays, wellness programs, and an employee assistance program.
