Applied AI Engineer
About the Opportunity
Date Posted: June 23, 2026
As an Applied AI Engineer at BorderPass, you’ll take ownership of high-impact projects that shape the future of cross-border technology. You’ll work across the stack to design and build products where machine learning isn’t just a feature — it’s at the core. From developing new AI-native workflows to tuning retrieval systems, you’ll collaborate closely with legal, product, and engineering to bring intelligent, pragmatic solutions to life.
We’re looking for engineers who thrive in zero-to-one environments, love solving hard technical challenges, and care deeply about building trustworthy, high-performance AI systems.
Responsibilities
Design and execute experiments to advance our
retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)
and
multi-step AI pipelines
.
Prototype and launch new AI-native product features — working cross-functionally with legal and marketing stakeholders.
Build intelligent, scalable workflows for long-running and procedural AI tasks (e.g., filings, document parsing, compliance checks).
Balance state-of-the-art research with engineering pragmatism — streamlining AI for real-world applications.
Who You Are
2-8+ years of hands-on experience in a software engineering role, ideally at a fast-moving startup or on an AI-driven product.
Proven ability to ship machine learning–powered features at scale — from offline data collection to live product experiments.
Experience with full-stack or backend systems that support multiple product lines.
Bonus: prior exposure to LLMs, vector databases, retrieval systems, or working in regulated domains like legal, finance, or govtech.
Startup grit — you’re comfortable wearing many hats and building under uncertainty.
