Senior Independent AI Engineer / Architect

Remote | Americas, Europe, or Israel

 

Most AI engineers can find work.

 

Finding work worth doing is harder.

 

A.Team is an invite-only network of senior AI engineers, ML engineers, and AI architects building production AI systems for startups, enterprises, and global companies.

 

Since 2020, builders in the network have earned more than $200M working with companies including Lyft, Google X, HCA, Unilever, Sightful, D-ID, and others.

 

The Work

You'll join small teams solving real problems.

 

Not demos.

Not proof-of-concepts that never ship.

Not another thin wrapper around an API.

Recent work has included:

 

 AI-native products built from 0→1

Agent architectures and orchestration systems

Enterprise AI deployments

Retrieval, evaluation, and reliability infrastructure

LLM-powered workflows and products

Machine learning platforms operating at scale

 

You'll work directly with founders, CTOs, and product leaders, helping shape both technical direction and execution.

 

Why Builders Join

The best opportunities rarely make it to the open market.

 

A.Team exists to solve that.

 

No bidding.

 

No prospecting.

 

No race to the bottom.

 

Just ambitious companies, difficult problems, and experienced peers.

 

Who Thrives Here 

People who have already shipped.

 

Engineers who have deployed AI systems into production, understand the tradeoffs behind the hype, and know how to turn technical complexity into business value.

 

What matters is a track record of building and shipping.
