The Applied AI team at Circle is at the forefront of leveraging AI to drive innovation across our company
You will work on exciting projects such as AI agents, Retrieval-Augmented Generation, internal tooling for customer-facing teams, fine-tuning models, and building infrastructure for LLM inference
Ship full-stack AI projects end-to-end on a product built in Ruby on Rails backend and React frontend
Build and integrate components for AI infrastructure and optimize them for performance and reliability to support production-level inferencing
Improve processes, tools, and systems to scale AI solutions across Circle
Help us stay up-to-date with the cutting-edge AI research, techniques, and tools
Work closely with Circle's leaders throughout the feature design process
Work closely with our designers to create a world-class user experience

Our take

The influencer market is nearly twice the size it was globally back in 2019. With more creators flocking to the digital space to grow and engage with their followers, cracks in the existing platforms’ relationship to their content creators are showing. Circle is one of a number of content creator platforms rising up to meet the demand for change.

Its community platform allows users to create and engage with their own groups, for a small subscription fee established by the creators. This direct ownership and community engagement is proving something of a silver bullet for companies looking to tempt creators off of incumbent giants like TikTok and Youtube. Companies like Substack, Patreon, and Pico have all seen remarkable success with this strategy, suggesting that Circle’s foray into establishing something similar for a creator hub is playing to an eager market.

The company's ultimate aim is to pull together all creator tools like newsletter publishing, merch sales, and podcasting under a single Circle umbrella. This is ambitious - but Circle is growing alongside the creator economy at an impressive pace. If it can maintain this growth, it will be poised well for future success.
