About this role
We are looking for an Applied AI Engineer with 1-10 years of industry experience to join our team at Judgment Labs. We are seeking intellectually curious individuals with high agency who can navigate open-ended problems and build AI systems end-to-end. This role is critical to enhancing the accuracy and scalability of our AI agents, which analyze hundreds of millions of data points to provide crucial insights for our customers.
What will you be doing?
- Build better retrieval mechanisms and search algorithms to ensure our AI agent can access the right information quickly and make correct judgments.
- Develop custom agent-specific harnesses optimized for manipulating and understanding agent trajectories, as out-of-the-box solutions are insufficient.
- Design and build a sandboxed environment where our evaluation agent can run 24/7, enabling autonomous, self-improving systems for our customers.
- Work hands-on with large, messy, real-world agent interaction data to extract meaningful evaluation signals and improve data quality through curation, pipelining, and benchmarking.
- Develop agent-based systems to analyze and evaluate complex, long-running agent behaviors in production environments.

Culture & values
Small, high-intensity team of ~22 people
Team operates in-person because the problems are hard, the product is moving fast, and tight feedback loops matter
Engineers own problems end-to-end: talking to customers, understanding where their agents fail, defining what should exist, building it, and iterating until it works
Culture is meritocratic and fast-moving
Engineers who demonstrate strong performance can expand into applied AI work alongside the research team
Team ships quickly — interview processes close in a week and a half, and the same urgency applies to product development
AI-native company where everyone interacts with AI systems more than at most places
