LLM Application Engineer

About ActAI

There are over 5 billion users using basic applications today such email, notes, tasks, calendar and they're not AI-native. Our mission is to build proactive applications for anyone in the world, who are not used to complex prompting. We aim to bring intelligence to conversations, errands, organising and workflows, with minimal to no prompting.

Our first application is an agent-first mobile communication app. We believe building applications that users use daily for communication, coordination and collaboration needs will help integrate AI into their lives. The net effect is to eliminate misinformation, achieve low coordination costs, enable high quality tasks and collaboration at scale with minimal or little prompting.

About the Role

As an LLM Application Engineer, you will build the intelligence layer that powers ActAI's AI experiences.

You will work at the intersection of LLMs, software engineering, and product - designing agent workflows, improving model behaviour, and turning AI capabilities into reliable user experiences.

You will own problems end-to-end, from understanding user needs, designing Agentic workflows, integrating models and tools, building evaluation system and continuously improving AI behaviour in production.

Focus

Build and ship LLM-powered applications and AI agent workflows

Design systems for reasoning, planning, memory, tool uuse and multi-step execution

Build reliable orchestration pipelines that turn probabilistic model outputs into predictable, observable, and safe actions

Integrate LLMs with APIs, databases, search, internal services, and external tools.

Develop prompting, context engineering, structured outputs, tool-calling, and other techniques to improve model behaviour

Build evaluation frameworks and datasets to measure AI quality, reliability, and regressions

Debug AI systems across the entire stack—from model behaviour and prompts to orchestration, backend services, and product UX

Optimise AI systems for quality, latency, and cost

Work closely with product and engineering teams to turn ambiguous product problems into working AI solutions

Establish production practices for observability, tracing, experimentation, evaluation, and continuous improvement

Tech Stack

Python

LLM APIs and model providers, including OpenAI-compatible APIs and open-weight models

Agent frameworks and orchestration systems

Vector databases and retrieval systems

Backend services, APIs, and distributed systems

PyTorch / JAX
