Applied AI Engineer

Hey, I’m Teddy https://www.linkedin.com/in/teddy-ni/, CTO & co-founder at Magic Patterns! Our engineering team has grown a lot over the last few months here in San Francisco. About Magic Patterns Our mission is to let anyone build delightful software. We're a lean team where everyone contributes directly to the product.

If you’re an AI engineer, our roadmap is probably a goldmine of things you’ve always wanted to work on:

• An AI agent that thousands of users use religiously everyday
• Evals with a self-improving agent loop
• Context engineering
• Post-training on design output The most common piece of feedback we get is "I tried a bunch of tools but your design quality output is by far the best." We want to push the limits even further. About this role
• Own our eval system that feeds into our self-improving agent loop
• Push and define the limits of what AI can do in design. Today, we are state of the art, and we want to continue to push that.
• Collaborate with the product team to bring novel solutions to improve agent quality from the perspective of our users
• Decide what to work on to improve our AI Design agent. The list above are open problems, not assignments This role might be a fit if you...
