What are the responsibilities and job description for the Applied AI Engineer position at Teamworks?
I'm Chris Moyer, Director of Engineering at Teamworks. I'm hiring an Applied AI Engineer to build GenAI inside our Coaching product. We're investing heavily in GenAI to help sports organizations make better decisions faster, and I need someone who can turn that ambition into production-grade reality. The work is shipping features that real teams depend on in high-stakes environments.
Teamworks Coaching is a video-first analytics platform built to match the way coaches already work.
