Job Description

About the role

Scale's Global Public Sector team uses AI to address critical challenges facing the public sector around the world. As an Applied AI Engineer, you'll build AI that runs inside production systems used by national health and government organisations.

You'll own scoped components of those systems, such as a model integration, agent tool, API, data pipeline, or evaluation, from implementation through to delivery. Senior engineers set the system-level design and client commitments, so you can go deep on making your components work reliably on real data.

What you'll do

Own the implementation, testing, and delivery of defined AI components within an established system design
Build agent tools, model integrations, and the backend services and APIs they depend on
Run and extend evaluations within an established framework, interpret results, investigate common failure modes, and flag regressions
Debug production
