Staff Applied AI Engineer

Key Highlights

• Build and ship multiple AI-powered product features, setting the bar for delivery at Pleo, across agentic workflows, spend intelligence, automated actions, and more.
• Bring deep applied AI expertise and strong judgment on trade-offs (quality vs latency/cost, build vs buy, agent patterns vs simpler approaches) and help teams avoid hype-driven decisions.
• Work directly with Product, Design, Engineering, and business stakeholders to advise and prioritise on what’s actually worth building. You aren’t just implementing specs, you’re discovering and defining the product.
• Own the evaluation, monitoring, and operationalisation of AI features: setting up evals, tracking drift and performance, and managing prompt changes safely in production. You will help establish how Pleo does this at scale and own the development in production.
• Act as a design partner to the GenAI Core platform team: challenge decisions with evidence from real feature delivery, bring clear requirements, and validate platform choices in production.
