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 working on production AI systems for startups, scale-ups, 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 tackling problems that matter.

Not demos.

Not prototypes that never ship.

Not another chatbot wrapper.

Real systems. Real users. Real outcomes.

Recent work has included:

LLM-powered products and workflows
Agent architectures and orchestration systems
Retrieval, evaluation, and reliability infrastructure
Enterprise AI deployments
AI-native products built from zero to one
Machine learning platforms operating at scale

You'll work directly with founders, CTOs, and product leaders, helping shape both the technical approach and the outcome.

Why Builders Join

Most independent engineers eventually run into the same problem:

The best opportunities rarely make it to the open market.

A.Team exists to solve that.

No bidding.

No prospecting.

No competing with thousands of other freelancers.

Just access to 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 research into business value.

You might be an:

AI Architect
AI Engineer
MLOps
Deep Learning Engineer
Data Scientist
Applied AI Engineer
ML Engineer
AI Researcher
Staff+ Engineer focused on AI
Technical founder with deep AI experience

What matters is a track record of building and shipping.
