Lead Applied AI Engineer

Excerpt from the original posting

About Us 

At LangChain, our mission is to make intelligent agents ubiquitous. We build the foundation for agent engineering in the real world, helping developers move from prototypes to production-ready AI agents that teams can rely on. We began as widely adopted open-source tools and have grown to also offer a platform for building, evaluating, deploying, and operating agents at scale.
With $125M raised at Series B from IVP, Sequoia, Benchmark, CapitalG, and Sapphire Ventures, we’re at a stage where we’re continuing to develop new products, growth is accelerating, and all team members have meaningful impact on what we build and how we work together. LangChain is a place where your contributions can shape how this technology shows up in the real world.
Today, our platform includes LangSmith (Observability, Evaluation, Deployment, Fleet, and Sandboxes), our open source frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, and Deep Agents), and the newly launched LangSmith Engine for autonomous agent improvement. We have 100M+ monthly open source downloads, 6,000+ active LangSmith customers, and 5 of the Fortune 10 use LangSmith in production (+ 35% of the Fortune 500 overall), including teams at Klarna, Clay, Coinbase, Workday, Lyft, Cloudflare, Harvey, Rippling, Vanta, LinkedIn, Monday.com, Nvidia, and Bridgewater.

About The Team: 
The Applied AI team builds the agents that show the world what's possible with LangChain. We ship open source reference agents like Open SWE, Open Canvas, and our Deep Research agent that developers across the community use as starting points for their own production systems, while also building internal agents that power LangChain's own GTM and engineering workflows. It's a small, fast-moving team that operates at the frontier, iterating rapidly, running rigorous evals on our own work, and feeding hard-won learnings back into the platform. If you want to work on the frontier of agent-building, this may be the team for you.

You're expected to build, ship, and also be the person other engineers come to when a project is stuck or a design decision needs a second set of eyes.
*This role is based onsite in New York, NY

What You'll do: 
- Design, implement, and deploy end-to-end AI workflows and agents that…
