At Reedsy, our goal is to build the best ecosystem for writers, supporting them at every stage of their creative journey. Over the years, we've developed a suite of products, including a marketplace, book discovery platform, writing app, central authentication system, and email marketing tools.

As a publishing startup, we're thoughtful about how we integrate AI. As an AI Engineer, you'll help us empower authors to do more - enhancing creativity, not replacing it. You'll focus on building intelligent features that support storytelling and streamline workflows.

In this role, you will:

• Design and implement AI-powered tools for authors (e.g. a narrative co-pilot, visual storyboarding assistant, etc.);

• Improve internal workflows by automating repetitive tasks and enhancing UX across our products;

• Build internal tools for AI development, including evaluation benchmarks and automated testing;

• Collaborate closely with engineers and operations teams to identify high-impact AI opportunities.

We're here to give authors the tools and resources they need to create beautiful books. Our marketplace gathers the industry's best publishing professionals - the likes of Neil Gaiman's editor, Nora Roberts' book marketer, and GRRM's cover designer.

We've grown to a community of 5,000,000 authors, and transformed the way people write and publish their book. Want to hop on board and help us get to our next destination? Cool, keep reading!
