A.Team: Senior Independent AI Engineer / Architect
Headquarters: NYC and TLV
URL: a.team/ai-jobs
Location: Remote | Americas, Europe, or Israel
Most AI engineers can find work. Finding work worth doing is harder.
A.Team is an invite-only network of senior AI engineers, ML engineers, and AI architects working on production AI systems for startups, scale-ups, and global companies. Since 2020, builders in the network have earned more than $200M working with companies including Lyft, Google X, HCA, Unilever, Sightful, D-ID, and others.
The Work
You'll join small teams tackling problems that matter. Not demos, not prototypes that never ship, and not another chatbot wrapper. You will build real systems for real users to achieve real outcomes.
Recent work has included:
- LLM-powered products and workflows
- Agent architectures and orchestration systems
- Retrieval, evaluation, and reliability infrastructure
- Enterprise AI deployments
- AI-native products built from zero to one
- Machine learning platforms operating at scale
You'll work directly with founders, CTOs, and product leaders, helping shape both the technical approach and the outcome.
Why Builders Join
Most independent engineers eventually run into the same problem: the best opportunities rarely make it to the open market. A.Team exists to solve that.
- No bidding
- No prospecting
- No competing with thousands of other freelancers
- Access to ambitious companies, difficult problems, and experienced peers
