Applied AI

ABOUT ARTISAN We're building AI employees. Not chatbots. Not copilots. Autonomous digital workers that do real jobs. Our first, Ava, is an AI BDR used by hundreds of companies. She researches leads, writes and sends emails in a customer's voice, runs multi-step outbound sequences, manages her own deliverability infrastructure, self-optimizes over time, and handles objections and meeting booking. She's not a tool someone uses. She's a teammate. We're a YC W24 company, have raised $35M+ from investors including Y Combinator, and are at $8M+ ARR. Right now we're building Ava 2.0, a step change in what an AI employee can do. The engineering problems are hard and the surface area is enormous. ROLE OVERVIEW You'll be the third Applied AI engineer on the Artisan team! We're pushing the boundaries of what's possible with AI employees, and you'll play a key role in our product direction. - Evaluating LLMs, choosing the right models for the right tasks, balancing cost, latency, reliabili
