Job Description
<div class="content-intro"><p><strong>Warp: We're Building the Platform for Agentic Development</strong></p>
<p>Warp began with the vision of reimagining one of the fundamental dev tools—the terminal—to make it more usable and powerful for all developers. As AI has advanced, Warp has evolved beyond its terminal roots into the platform for Agentic Development: a workbench for dispatching agents to code, deploy, and debug production software.</p>
<p>With over 700k active developers and revenue that grew over 44x last year, Warp is now one of the fastest growing startups in the exploding AI development space. We believe that soon developers will be “tech leads” for groups of agents; rather than opening a code editor to write code or a terminal to write commands, they will open Warp and prompt their computer to build features, fix bugs, and diagnose production issues.</p>
<p>With its starting point as a reimagined command line, Warp is well-positioned to support agent-first workflows: It sits at the lowest level in the dev stack, has access to all of a developer’s context, and is set up for multitasking and long-running processes. In addition, Warp has state-of-the-art code editing features and built-in team knowledge sharing. It’s the right interface for the agentic future.</p>
<p>Our mission has remained the same even as AI has advanced: to empower developers to ship better software more quickly, freeing them to focus on the creative and rewarding aspects of their work.</p>

<p>Warp is fundamentally changing how developers interact with technology, moving from coding "by hand" to working "by prompt." We're hiring an Applied AI Engineer to accelerate this transformation. </p>
<p>You’ll be instrumental in developing innovative predictive AI features leveraging our unique user-generated content and team data. This applied AI Engineer role emphasizes product development and implementation, distinguishing it from a purely research-oriented position. You will be directly reporting to <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnarector/">John Rector</a>, our Head of Engineering.</p>
<p>Your work will supercharge our natural language understanding, enhance predictive accuracy for commands, and build personalized, specialized AI agents. By continuously refining our AI-driven suggestions and agent interactions, you'll empower hundreds of thousands of developers globally to ship better software faster, significantly impacting Warp's core product.</p>
<h4><strong>As our first Applied AI Engineer, you will…</strong></h4>
<ul>
<li>Design, build, and deploy predictive AI features, including natural language detection, autosuggestions, and intelligent prompt recommendations.</li>
<li>Leverage Warp’s extensive user-generated content and team data to continuously refine AI prediction and personalization.</li>
<li>Drive substantial improvements in code generation quality, including code completions, diff applications, and SWEbench performance.</li>
<li>Implement and iterate specialized agents tailored for specific developer workflows and use cases.</li>
<li>Optimize AI models through fine-tuning, advanced prompt engineering, and robust, data-driven feedback loops.</li>
<li>Improve context retrieval systems, enabling Warp agents to retain and utilize memory effectively.</li>
<li>Collaborate closely with product and engineering teams, rapidly shipping iterative improvements into production.</li>
<li>Continuously elevate the user experience by refining interactions between developers and Warp AI.</li>
</ul>
<h4><strong>You may be a good fit if…</strong></h4>
<ul>
<li>You have at least 5 years of experience applying AI/ML research to build and ship user-facing, production-grade products. </li>
<li>You possess a strong ... (truncated, view full listing at source)
