About the job
Location: Global (Remote or in-person in NYC)
About This Opportunity
We’re on the lookout for talented Applied AI Engineers who have a track record of delivering innovative products that are embraced by millions. We seek individuals who go beyond mere API integration and create features that users genuinely appreciate.
In this role, you will engage with Automattic’s diverse ecosystem, which includes WordPress.com, WooCommerce, Tumblr, Beeper, Clay, and more. If you are based in NYC, you will have the opportunity to collaborate face-to-face with our AI team. For those who are distributed, you will work in the way Automattic has successfully operated for two decades: asynchronously, transparently, with a focus on impact rather than hours worked.
This position offers you the chance to tackle intriguing challenges at scale while being supported by a profitable, mission-driven organization. Whether you’re collaborating with Other Bets teams, enabling existing products to utilize AI, or uncovering new avenues with our data and distribution, you will have the tools and scope to create impactful solutions for millions.
Why This Role Matters
You will help shape the future of AI as it revolutionizes products that are utilized by hundreds of millions globally, from assisting creators in storytelling to empowering merchants in competition. You will encounter captivating challenges throughout our entire ecosystem, all while being part of a well-established, mission-driven company.
Whether you are working onsite in NYC or remotely, you will enjoy the freedom to focus on high-impact projects without the typical constraints found in startups (like fundraising pressure or runway anxiety) or large tech firms (such as bureaucracy and slow decision-making).
What You’ll Do
- Develop and launch user-centric AI features across Automattic’s product suite, including site-building tools, e-commerce recommendations, and messaging experiences.
- Rapidly build and refine AI-driven products that have a direct influence on millions of users.
- Collaborate with product managers, designers, and engineers (whether in-person in NYC or globally distributed) in a dynamic environment focused on innovation.
- Test and scale successful AI innovations from prototype to production across various products.
- Integrate with teams to enhance products such as WordPress.com, WooCommerce, Jetpack, Clay, Beeper, Pocket Casts, and others.
