Applied AI Engineer

Hey, I’m

Teddy

, CTO & co-founder at Magic Patterns! Our engineering team has grown a lot over the last few months here in San Francisco.

About Magic Patterns

Our mission is to let anyone build delightful software. We're a lean team where everyone contributes directly to the product.

If you’re an AI engineer, our roadmap is probably a goldmine of things you’ve always wanted to work on:

• An AI agent that thousands of users use religiously everyday
• Evals with a self-improving agent loop
• Context engineering
• Post-training on design output

The most common piece of feedback we get is "I tried a bunch of tools but your design quality output is by far the best." We want to push the limits even further.

About this role

Own our eval system that feeds into our self-improving agent loop

Push and define the limits of what AI can do in design. Today, we are state of the art, and we want to continue to push that.

Collaborate with the product team to bring novel solutions to improve agent quality from the perspective of our users

Decide what to work on to improve our AI Design agent. The list above are open problems, not assignments

This role might be a fit if you...

• Use AI tools in your daily workflow
• Have experience with AI models and/or have worked on an AI agent before
• Have experience building eval systems, post-training, context engineering
• Strong first-principles thinker that can distill complex problems

Our Values

Obsessive — we love exploring every corner of the hardest problems.

Growth-minded — where you are today matters less than how fast you are growing

Ownership — insist on high standards and craftsmanship.

Spread the magic — for many people, Magic Patterns is “magic.” Be proud of your work and have fun!
