Applied AI Research Engineer
Summary
Anori, an early-stage applied-AI startup making housing and building development more sustainable, seeks an Applied AI Research Engineer in San Mateo to prototype, benchmark, and deploy production AI systems—including agentic workflows and pipelines for regulatory and multimodal data—powering its SaaS platform end to end.
About the Team:
We are a team of engineers, scientists, and domain experts dedicated to making housing and building development more sustainable and equitable. At Anori, we believe that to meet the global housing demand, we must build differently than we have before.
We are developing novel AI solutions to address complex challenges in these industries, driving a transformation in building performance, efficiency, and sustainability. This is a rare opportunity to shape an early-stage company in an extremely meaningful way.
The Role
We are looking for versatile AI engineers who have experience in agentic workflows, orchestrators, and rigorous validation and benchmarking. If you love wearing multiple hats and delivering a new capability end to end, from first prototype to deployment, then you could be a strong fit.
We’re looking for problem solvers who are excited to write high quality software to solve complex challenges with multimodal data. You might spend some of your time prototyping and benchmarking new AI approaches, deploying production AI models, or working with users to understand how the AI systems are driving user value. You will be part of a talented, interdisciplinary engineering team helping build an AI platform from the ground up.
How you will make an Impact
Develop AI systems for regulatory data to ensure accurate and validated interpretations of nuanced requirements, conditions, and constraints
Design, prototype, benchmark, validate and implement robust, end to end production-level software to enable inference, optimization, and other complex AI workflows as part of a SaaS offering
Build scalable, reproducible deployment pipelines for AI services
Work effectively with cross-functional teams of engineers, scientists, domain experts and PMs

Strong python development skills
It’d be great if you also had these
