We’re hiring on behalf of ActAI, a high‑talent team building the next generation of AI‑native productivity applications. Their mission is to replace repetitive digital work with AI that can reliably complete real tasks for everyday users.

Rather than building another chatbot, A1 is creating long‑running AI workflows that manage conversations, coordinate actions, maintain context, and interact with external services — all with minimal user input.

As a Machine Learning Engineer, you will own critical ML subsystems in production. This is a hands‑on, high‑impact role focused on depth and reliability at scale.
