Scale AI is the data foundation for AI, helping organizations build and deploy reliable production AI applications. We partner with the world's leading enterprises and government organizations to accelerate their AI transformation through frontier AI systems that solve real business problems.
Every day, we work with organizations across finance, healthcare, manufacturing, media and telecommunications to build production AI agents that automate complex workflows, help humans, reason over enterprise knowledge, and operate safely at scale.
Applied AI is moving faster than ever. New foundation models, reasoning techniques, agent architectures, and research papers emerge every week. Yet building AI systems that reliably solve real-world problems remains one of the hardest engineering challenges.
As a Frontier Agent Engineer (Applied AI), you'll bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI research and production deployment. You'll work directly with enterprise customers to design, evaluate, and deploy intelligent systems that combine frontier models with structured knowledge, retrieval, traditional machine learning, and enterprise software.
Unlike traditional ML roles that focus on a single model or product, you'll work across a diverse portfolio of AI challenges spanning multiple industries and use cases. You may build a multi-agent research system and then participate in designing a customer intelligence platform, a healthcare copilot, or an autonomous workflow for a Fortune 100 company.
If you enjoy reading new AI papers, experimenting with the latest models, and shipping production systems that create measurable business impact, you'll fit right in.
You'll work across the full lifecycle of modern AI systems:
We believe the fastest way to grow as an Frontier Agents engineer is to solve many different AI problems, not the same problem repeatedly. You'll work across diverse industries, datasets, model architectures, and agentic systems, rapidly developing intuition for what makes AI systems successful in production.
While this role initially emphasizes Applied AI and machine learning, every Frontier Agent Engineer develops expertise across both Applied AI and Forward Deployed Engineering.
Over time, you'll gain hands-on experience integrating AI systems into enterprise environments, deploying production infrastructure, and working directly with customer engineering teams. Our goal is to develop engineers who can move seamlessly between cutting-edge AI research and real-world production systems.
