You will work on exciting projects such as AI agents, Retrieval-Augmented Generation, AI evaluations and observability, and building infrastructure for LLM inference.\nWhile deep AI specialization or expertise isn't required, we care about some hands-on experience building AI features. Beyond that, we're looking for a strong experimentation mindset. If you're excited about rapidly testing ideas, running A/B experiments, and iterating on real production use cases of LLMs, this role is for you.\nThe Applied AI team is composed of different backgrounds. Some team members joined with deep Rails experience and solid AI fundamentals, while other team members joined with deep AI experience and ramped up on Rails. Either path works as long as you bring hands-on experience with both Rails and AI and have genuine curiosity to grow.\nWhat you'll be doing\nShip full-stack AI projects end-to-end on a product built in Ruby on Rails backend and React frontend.\nDesign and run experiments (including A/B tests, AI evaluations, or others) to validate AI features, measure impact, and guide iteration.\nBuild and integrate components for AI infrastructure and optimize them for performance and reliability to support production-level inferencing.\nImprove processes, tools, and systems to scale AI features into production-ready solutions.\nHelp us stay up-to-date with the cutting-edge AI research, techniques, and tools.\nWork closely with Circle's leaders and designers throughout the feature design process.\nFoster a bias for action by prioritizing speed of iteration, experimentation, and learning, while maintaining high standards of code quality and user experience.\nWhat you'll need to be successful\n6+ years experience working as a full-stack engineer on high-traffic production applications. You've dealt with the challenges that come with scale — query optimization, careful migrations, performance bottlenecks.\nStrong proficiency in Ruby on Rails, MySQL / Postgresql, ReactJS. Familiarity with both frontend and backend is necessary, but a high degree of proficiency in both is not a requirement.\nHands-on experience building AI features in production — whether RAG systems, AI agents, or LLM-powered tools. You've shipped at least one real AI use case, not just prototypes.\nStrong experimentation mindset — you're comfortable designing and running A/B tests, measuring results, and iterating quickly to discover what works and what doesn't.\nA desire to work in an environment which values speed of iteration and individual autonomy, while also embracing personal accountability and the ability to collaborate effectively as part of a dynamic team.\nComfortable in a fast-paced environment with a certain level of ambiguity, especially when learning and picking up new technologies when projects require it.\nStrong alignment with our values, find our values on our career page if you haven't read up on them yet.\nYou are proficient in English (spoken, written, and reading) at a CEFR Level C2 / ILR Level 5.\n$130,000 - $140,000 USD per year\nCircle offers U.S.-benchmarked compensation globally, equity in the company with ongoing refresh grants, and 35 days of paid time off each year.\nWe're a remote-only team that comes together twice a year for company retreats in incredible destinations around the world. Alongside incredible flexibility and autonomy, we offer a benefits package that supports health, wellbeing, and professional growth.
