Applied AI Engineer

• •**Own the end-to-end build** of internal AI tools and automations: requirements gathering, stakeholder alignment, design, implementation, deployment, and iteration.
• •**Translate ambiguity into product** — distill a team's needs into a coherent plan and present it back to stakeholders in a way that gets buy-in.
• •**Build on a shared substrate** — contribute to the common TypeScript layer that internal AI tools at LI.FI are built on, so your work compounds with everyone else's.
• •**Close collaboration with business teams** — sit with BD, ops, legal, HR, finance, marketing, or customer service to deeply understand their workflows, pain points, and opportunities for AI leverage.
• •**Think holistically** — over time, help shape LI.FI's overall internal AI strategy rather than shipping isolated one-off automations.
• •**Work cross-functionally** — collaborate with shared resources such as DevOps and Security through our standard prioritization workflow.

• •Annual team offsites (Thailand in 2023, Vietnam in 2024, Marrakech in 2025, Crete in 2026; memories we'll never forget. Already dreaming about where 2027 will take us!)
• •30 days of PTO
• •Flexible remote days
• •Flexible working hours
• •Equity participation from day 1
• •Entitlement to work computer (choice of equipment)
• •An annual 1,000€ personal development budget once you have worked 6+ months (pro-rated the first year)
• •A one-time 1,000€ remote budget to use on coworking, office setup, etc. *If you join us as an independent contractor, you’re only entitled to the first five benefits of this list.* *This role is engaged via employer of record (EOR) or independent contractor arrangement.*

#### Must-haves

• •**TypeScript proficiency** — this is our minimum technical bar, since you will be contributing to our shared substrate layer.
• •**Demonstrable, AI-native engineering experience** — work we can actually look at. GitHub projects, open source contributions, or working implementations using LLM tooling, agent libraries, or AI frameworks.
• •**DevOps & Security:** knowledge and understanding of best practices and foreseeable challenges.
• •**Drive and curiosity** — someone who builds things on their own time, not because they were assigned to.
• •**Structured independence** — able to manage projects end-to-end without hand-holding, while staying coordinated with stakeholders.
• •**Growth mindset** — we are hiring for trajectory, not credentials. We care more about how you think and learn than about the brand of your CV.
• •**Strong written and verbal communication** — you will be the bridge between business stakeholders and AI capabilities.

#### Nice-to-haves

• •**Crypto, DeFi, or Web3 background** — enough context to quickly understand LI.FI's mission, customers, and ecosystem.
• •**Experience shipping production AI systems** — even small ones — with attention to evaluation, reliability, and cost.
• •**Exposure to internal tooling or BPM work** — you have automated workflows for non-technical teammates before.
