Senior Applied AI Engineer

I'm Chris Moyer, Director, Engineering at Teamworks. We're accelerating our investment in GenAI to help sports organizations make better decisions faster, and I need someone who can turn that ambition into production-grade reality. This isn't a research role or an experimentation sandbox — it's about shipping AI-powered features that real teams rely on in high-stakes environments.

The Role

• Design, build, and ship production-grade GenAI features that help teams explore data, ask better questions, and trust the answers they get
• Own GenAI features end-to-end, from system design and LLM integration through deployment, monitoring, and iteration
• Build and maintain reusable GenAI platform components that make it easier and safer for teams across Teamworks to ship AI-powered features
• Establish and document best practices for building, testing, and operating GenAI systems reliably in production
• Make architectural decisions that balance speed, scalability, reliability, security, and cost in a multi-tenant data environment
• Partner with Product, Design, and domain subject-matter experts to deliver trustworthy, explainable AI experiences that align with real user workflows
  
  

What I'm Looking For

What You Must Bring

• 6 years of professional software engineering experience building and operating production systems with real customer impact
• Proven experience shipping GenAI-powered or ML-enabled features to production, with ownership beyond prototypes or demos
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript and Node.js, including building and maintaining backend services and APIs
• Solid system design and architecture skills, with experience designing distributed, reliable, and observable services
• Strong data reasoning and SQL fundamentals, including aggregation, time-based analysis, and performance considerations
• Hands-on experience designing and operating production GenAI systems with prompts, tool interfaces, guardrails, and failure handling in cloud environments (AWS preferred)
  
  

Even Better If

• You have experience integrating AI-driven workflows into React-based user interfaces
• You're familiar with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or similar) and cloud-native deployment practices
• You have experience with observability and evaluation for AI-powered systems (logging, metrics, regression checks)
• You have exposure to data platforms or lakehouse-style architectures
  
  

Why This Role

GenAI is moving from a feature to a foundation at Teamworks, and the person in this role will help define how the entire engineering organization builds with it. You'll have real architectural ownership, a platform mandate, and the opportunity to set standards that outlast any single feature.
