About This Opportunity

We’re looking for exceptional AI engineers who’ve shipped breakthrough products that millions actually use. The kind of people who don’t just integrate APIs, they build features users love.

You’ll work with Automattic’s ecosystem, spanning WordPress.com, WooCommerce, Tumblr, Beeper, Mesh (formerly Clay), and more. If you’re in NYC, you’ll collaborate in-person with our AI team. If you’re distributed, you’ll work the way Automattic has for 20 years: asynchronously, transparently, with a focus on impact over hours.

This is about working on fascinating problems at scale with the backing of a profitable, mission-driven company. Whether you’re embedding with Other Bets teams, helping existing products leverage AI, or exploring new opportunities with our data and distribution, you’ll have the resources and reach to build things that matter to millions.

Why This Role Matters

Shape how AI transforms products used by hundreds of millions of people across the planet, from helping creators tell better stories to empowering merchants to compete effectively. You’ll tackle fascinating challenges across our entire ecosystem—with the backing of a profitable, mission-driven company.

Whether you're working in-person in NYC or distributed globally, you’ll have the autonomy to focus on high-impact work without the typical constraints of startups (fundraising pressure, runway anxiety) or large tech companies (bureaucracy, slow decision-making).

What You’ll Do

  • Ship user-facing AI features across Automattic’s product ecosystem; from site building tools to ecommerce recommendations to messaging experiences.
  • Build and iterate rapidly on AI-powered products that directly impact millions of users.
  • Collaborate with PMs, designers, and engineers (in-person in NYC or distributed globally) in a fast-paced environment optimized for innovation.
  • Experiment and scale successful AI innovations from prototype to production across multiple products.
  • Embed with teams to work on products such as WordPress.com, WooCommerce, Jetpack, M
