We are looking for a highly experienced Applied AI Engineer to take Laurel's core AI from promising to dependable. We're hiring this role at the Senior or Staff level — scope, title, and compensation will match your experience. Laurel already turns raw work activity into the concepts professionals actually think in — matters, tasks, narratives, work codes — in production today. Your charter is to make those features something a firm can trust: suggestions people accept, coverage across the whole working day, and consistency at the firm level. That dependability is the engine of Laurel's growth.
You'll own AI features end-to-end — in the room at the problem statement, not the solution review — and you'll be measured on output quality you can prove, not vibes. You'll work on a charter to solve high-level business challenges with a collaborative, cross-functional team. Your curiosity will serve you well in asking the right questions to understand the customer problems we're solving. Ownership comes from the ground up; we empower our teams to understand and make an impact on the business.
AI will fundamentally change the nature of work and how we think about work. As an Applied AI Engineer at Laurel, you'll stand at the forefront of the mission to return time to our customers.
Laurel is at a pivot point. We've built a product that people like, and have a direction that people love, but it hasn't been done yet.
You will sit on Laurel's AI team and embed with the product “pod” where AI is load-bearing. Each pod is assigned an area of focus related to customer needs and our product offering, and typically has 4-7 members. Alongside embedded product work, the AI team protects dedicated capacity for foundational bets.
Your work is not silo’d to the pod, however. You are expected to work with all engineers at the company in some capacity, as needed — especially the AI Platform team, whose paved road you build on. Good communication skills are essential.
We encourage diverse perspectives and rigorous thinkers who aren't afraid to challenge the status quo. Laurel is an equal opportunity employer. All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran or disability status. We are not able to support visa sponsorship or relocation assistance.
If you think you'd be a good fit for this role, we encourage you to apply, even if you don’t perfectly match all the bullet points in the job description. At Laurel, we strive to create an inclusive culture that encourages people from all walks of life to bring their unique, diverse perspectives to work. Every day, we aim to build an environment that empowers us all to do the best work of our careers, and we can't wait to show you what we have to offer!
