Applied AI Engineer

Company: VectorOne, an Ashla Ventures Firm
Location: Flexible / Remote (some travel for workshops)

About Us

At VectorOne, we are creating real-world impact by using tech to reimagine the language and financial lifeblood of business. We’re not just building software - we’re building life-changing, business-reshaping tools that solve messy, complex problems built on systems and processes that tie back to the Industrial Revolution. We want curious, driven people who learn fast and thrive on doing great work alongside an ambitious team. 

Our mission is simple but profound: to re-imagine and deliver paradigm shifting outcomes that shape the DNA of business. 

Business, and more specifically the office of the CFO, continues to evolve. The manual, mostly human processes within organizations that have dominated the office of the CFO for the last 100 years must evolve too.  At VectorOne we are building what that evolved state will become. Join our team to build the future office of the CFO and bring to life a new reality for executive leadership throughout industries such as: oil & gas, infrastructure, consumer products/retail, private equity/family office, healthcare, and real estate.

To deliver such mission critical outcomes, VectorOne will harness and combine the unique skills of tech builders with deep industry expertise to provide industry specific solutions to executive leadership.  Our decades of industry experience combined with mission-driven tech builders will uniquely position VectorOne to bypass the learning curve and customization required by today’s solutions and instead deliver unique, industry specific, value-driving outcomes. 

Our belief is the future of business is currently undergoing seismic shifts and what is being built today will shape the future of industries, entire economies, and personal careers.  This metamorphosis is happening TODAY and isn’t just some future possible reality.  We refuse to bury our heads in the sand and hope our lives don’t change, instead our team is fully all-in.  The time is NOW…come build the future with us!

The Role

We’re looking for an Applied AI Engineer who will contribute to building a new kind of rules engine that applies automated reasoning for explainable AI in high-trust environments. In your first year, you will work alongside senior AI engineers to create core system components at a pace others might call impossible.

You will get hands-on with model training, evaluation, and distillation, supporting the development of production AI systems. You will help turn ideas into working code, and you’ll gain experience with the foundational technologies beneath common abstraction libraries. You will help build novel solutions from the foundation layer.

The roadmap will shift as we push the boundaries of what’s possible, but the problems we’re working on are important and valuable. If you’re hungry to learn and want to grow by building in an environment where explainability and trust matter as much as speed, this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

  • Build our new rules engine that applies automated reasoning for explainable AI systems.
  • Train, evaluate, and distill models, and deploy them into production pipelines.
  • Turn research ideas and prototypes into code that actually runs in production.
  • Work directly with engineers and domain experts to wire AI into real products.
  • Test new frameworks and methods, keeping what works and discarding what doesn’t.

What We’re Looking For

  • 1-3+ years in software engineering, data engineering, or applied ML.
  • Solid Python skills and familiarity with modern ML/AI frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, LangChain, or similar).
  • Interest in agentic AI systems and eagerness to work with cutting-edge frameworks like MPC servers.
  • Exposure to cloud infrastructure and data tools (bonus: Palantir, Spark, Kafka, dbt, or Snowflake).
  • Curious, scrappy problem solver who enjoys working in fast-paced, cross-functional, collaborative environments.

Why Join Us

  • Build the future: Play a hands-on role in shaping VectorOne’s products from the ground up.
  • Impact at scale: This isn’t just a job; it’s a launchpad. Work at the frontier of AI, data, and industry - solving problems that will change the world.
  • Grow fast: Learn from experienced engineers, gain ownership early, and level up quickly. 
  • Culture: Join a team that’s ambitious, curious, collaborative, and cool - we’re building world-class products with world-class people.
  • Upside: Competitive compensation + equity.
