Responsibilities
At Reedsy, our goal is to build the best ecosystem for writers, supporting them at every stage of their creative journey. Over the years, we've developed a suite of products, including a marketplace, book discovery platform, writing app, central authentication system, and email marketing tools.
As a publishing startup, we're thoughtful about how we integrate AI. As an AI Engineer, you'll help us empower authors to do more — enhancing creativity, not replacing it. You’ll focus on building intelligent features that support storytelling and streamline workflows.
In this role, you will:
Design and implement AI-powered tools for authors (e.g. a narrative co-pilot, visual storyboarding assistant, etc.);
Improve internal workflows by automating repetitive tasks and enhancing UX across our products;
Build internal tools for AI development, including evaluation benchmarks and automated testing;
Collaborate closely with engineers and operations teams to identify high-impact AI opportunities.
Proven experience integrating AI/ML into real-world products, with ownership of the full lifecycle — from modeling and evaluation to deployment and go-to-market execution.
Experience working with large language models (e.g., prompt engineering, fine-tuning, model selection, retrieval-augmented generation)
Familiarity with orchestration tools (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex, or custom chaining frameworks)
Knowledge of hallucination detection and mitigation strategies
Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (preferably Google Cloud Platform) and scalable AI deployment
Familiarity with embeddings, vector databases, and Elasticsearch
Experience with AI developer tooling (e.g., Cursor, intelligent CI/CD, AI-powered QA)
