## Job description

Applied AI Engineer (Part-Time, Remote – U.S.)

Innovation is at the heart of what we do.

At Implicit, we’re building the leading AI Knowledge Engine for Maintenance and Support. Our secure, no-code platform transforms complex technical documents, manuals, procedures, and operational data into trusted, structured knowledge that powers both human experts and AI agents.

We’re looking for a part-time Applied AI Engineer to help build the next generation of enterprise AI. You’ll work alongside experienced engineers, product leaders, and AI researchers to develop production-grade AI capabilities that solve real-world problems across defense, manufacturing, customer support, and other knowledge-intensive industries.

## What You’ll Do

- Design and build AI applications powered by LLMs, RAG, semantic search, and AI agents.
- Develop intelligent pipelines for document ingestion, knowledge extraction, and retrieval.
- Improve answer quality through prompt engineering, evaluation frameworks, and retrieval optimization.
- Build and optimize production AI services using Python and modern AI frameworks.
- Work with agentic development tools including Cursor, Codex and AI-assisted coding workflows.
- Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code with a strong focus on quality and reliability.
- Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and data science teams to rapidly prototype and ship new capabilities.
- Evaluate emerging AI models, tools, and techniques to continuously improve the platform.

Required Qualifications

- 3+ years of experience building AI, machine learning, or NLP applications through industry, open-source, or research.
- Strong experience with Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), embeddings, and semantic search.
- Solid understanding of NLP, machine learning, and modern deep learning techniques.
- Hands-on experience with PyTorch, TensorFlow, or similar ML frameworks.
- Strong Python development skills and experience building production software.
- Experience working with APIs, vector databases, and AI application frameworks.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

## Preferred Qualifications

- Experience building AI systems for enterprise knowledge management or technical documentation.
- Experience with AI agents, tool calling, and agentic workflows.
- Familiarity with knowledge graphs, OCR, document parsing, or multimodal AI.
- Experience deploying AI applications using modern MLOps practices.
- Experience evaluating and benchmarking LLM performance.

## What We Offer

- Competitive compensation.
- Flexible part-time schedule.
- Remote work within the United States.
- Flexible vacation policy.
- Opportunity to build cutting-edge AI products with a small, experienced, and highly technical team tackling challenging real-world problems.

## About Implicit

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Implicit delivers a trusted, source-backed AI knowledge layer that provides cited technical answers to human technicians and AI agents for maintenance, support, and complex operations.
- **Entity Type**: Private (bootstrapped after initial funding rounds; total funding $5.84M)
- **Headquarters**: New York, New York, United States
- **Founded**: 2016
- **Founders**: Not publicly disclosed; CEO is Patrick Dennis (former Cogito, Periscope, Workday)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: AI-powered knowledge management; technical support and maintenance software; aerospace & defense; enterprise customer service.
- **Target customers**: B2B – enterprises in safety‑ and compliance‑critical fields (aerospace, defense, industrial maintenance), as well as customer support teams using platforms like Zendesk.
- **Mission or purpose**: "Make accurate, cited answers instantly available to every technician and every agent, so that critical work gets done faster and with confidence."

## Products & Services
- **Implicit Platform (Knowledge Engine)** – A governed semantic layer that ingests documentation, manuals, tickets, and procedures from Zendesk, SharePoint, Notion, Slack, and file uploads. It returns cited, agent‑ready answers via MCP and API for both humans and AI agents.
- **Agentic Technical Support** – AI‑driven agent assistance built on a company’s own product docs, tickets, and playbooks to resolve complex issues with cited answers.
- **Zendesk AI Support** – A purpose‑built integration that plugs straight into Zendesk for faster ticket resolution, agent ramp‑up, and internal search.
- **Military Aircraft Maintenance AI** – A tailored solution providing mission‑ready maintenance knowledge to crews, drawing from manuals, SOPs, and tribal knowledge.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed.
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of **$5.84M** across seed rounds, venture rounds, and grants. Annual revenue not publicly available.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: M12 (Microsoft’s Venture Fund), CRV, and others. Federal advisors include former DIA Chief Data Officer Mark Gally and veterans of USSOCOM and NBOUND.
- **Growth Signals**: Small but focused team of ~30 employees with offices in New York, Washington D.C., and Cairo. Active job postings (quarterly increase of +300% in postings). Rated 4.8/5 on Glassdoor.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Source‑backed answers by default** – every response is grounded in the customer’s own approved documentation and cited back to it, eliminating hallucination risk.
- **Unified human + agent serving** – one governed knowledge base serves both human users and AI agents over MCP and API, ensuring consistent, trusted answers.
- **Domain‑tuned for high‑stakes environments** – specifically designed for safety‑ and compliance‑critical industries (defense, aerospace, industrial) where wrong answers are unacceptable.
- **Sits between general AI and vertical tools** – unlike cross‑app search (Glean) or pure content platforms (Notion, Confluence), Implicit combines private content, cited answers, agentic AI, and domain tuning.

## Strategic Focus
- **Expand into military and federal maintenance** – leveraging federal advisors and contracts (e.g., MARS program, USAF experience) to serve defense maintenance crews.
- **Deepen Zendesk integration** – targeting customer support teams that need accurate, AI‑powered resolution from their existing documentation.
- **Build the “hybrid workforce”** – enabling companies to deploy AI agents that access the same governed knowledge as human employees, accelerating critical workflows.

## Why Work Here
- **High mission impact** – the product is used in safety‑critical domains (aircraft maintenance, complex software support), giving engineering work tangible, real‑world consequence.
- **Strong team culture** – rated 4.8/5 on Glassdoor; small, collaborative team with backgrounds from AI, tech, software, military, and CX/support.
- **Flexible work locations** – offices in New York (HQ), Washington D.C., and Cairo; “OnSite Workspace” policy (employees work from physical offices) but remote possibilities may exist per role.
- **Opportunity to shape a growing product** – the company is actively hiring across engineering, design, and go‑to‑market, offering early‑stage ownership.
