We are hiring an Applied AI Engineer
To own the conversation layer of an AI-first fundraising platform: the agents that handle every reply, carry conversations through to booked meetings, and look after every relationship across our warm outreach, our investor network, and investor relations.
Paires is where founders come to raise capital. We pair them with the right investors from a large, engaged global investor network, then our agents run the warm outreach and manage the relationships that turn into meetings. It is a two-sided platform, live with paying clients, profitable and self-funded, built by a small, senior, flat team that ships fast.
The role
You own how Paires converses: every reply handled well and in time, booking, nurture, and the coaching experiences we are building on the same data. It starts as our reply and messaging system and grows into a core part of the product. You will also build broader applied-AI features across the platform. What this seat is not: a research seat. An internal knowledge bot or a RAG demo is not the bar. We want people whose systems hold real conversations with real people outside their team, day after day. Cold outreach from nothing is a different seat too - here the conversations already exist, and your agents carry them.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you will own
- Agents that read inbound messages and draft the right reply, fast, with a human in the loop.
- The messaging layer across our warm outreach, our warm investor network, and investor relations, not just one inbox.
- Conversational agents end to end: replies, booking, nurture, and support that reads human.
- The eval spine that gates quality: golden sets, judges, and the guardrails that hold as the conversations grow.
- Broader applied-AI features: classification, extraction, routing, summarization.
You are a fit if you
- Ship conversational LLM systems to production with real users: reply handling, support, booking, or nurture agents. Inbound work counts fully here.
- Have built evals yourself: golden sets from scratch, judge criteria, ship or rollback decisions made on the numbers.
- Have integrated LLMs with email, CRM, or messaging systems.
- Think like an operator, and know the business goal behind the message.
- Are an engineer first. We run roughly 80/20 engineering to research.
- Move fast with AI tooling and own outcomes.
