AI Architect (Applied AI Engineer)

Misfits & Machines is an innovative company focused on building transformative technologies in the age of AI. The AI Architect will work closely with creative, product, and engineering teams to design and build AI systems for their generative video platform, ensuring high performance and adaptability in production.

Responsibilities:

• Design and build agentic systems: Create and maintain the AI agent workflows and orchestration pipelines that power the platform, using Mastra, n8n, or the right tool for the job
• Turn ideas into architecture, live: Sit in working sessions with creative and product stakeholders, gather requirements on the fly, and translate them into working AI systems
• Craft and refine the intelligence: Write, test, and iteratively improve prompts and multi-step systems, creative generators, evaluation/judging panels, and guardrail checks
• Own observability and evals: Manage prompts and traces in Weave (or a comparable tool), craft and run evals, and meet with product stakeholders to understand how prompts are performing
• Make the architecture calls: Decide when to use agents vs. workflows, where logic should live, and how to keep systems flexible as the product evolves
