Job Description - Polygon Labs

AI Foundation Engineer

About Polygon Labs

Polygon Labs is a global blockchain payments company building and operating infrastructure to move money instantly, reliably, and at internet scale, with the mission to move all money onchain.

Your Role

Polygon is an AI-first company, and the AI Foundation team is where that commitment becomes reality. As the second member of this team, you will work directly alongside a staff-level engineer to design, build, and deploy AI tooling and infrastructure that accelerates productivity and AI adoption across the entire organization. This role exists because the demand for AI implementation has grown faster than a single person can handle, and the work is too important to slow down. You will own meaningful systems from day one, and your output will be felt across engineering, product, marketing, and operations.

* Design and build an organization-wide AI tooling onboarding system.

* Develop and maintain the infrastructure for automatic deployment and configuration of AI tooling.

* Build custom internal applications and harnesses around AI agents and tooling.

* Implement and maintain an AI usage dashboard.

* Evaluate, integrate, and configure third-party AI tools.

* Use AI coding agents to produce well-structured, maintainable code.

* Communicate clearly and consistently in an async-first remote environment.

What You'll Need

* Demonstrated engineering experience building real systems.

* Hands-on experience working with AI agents and LLM-based systems.

* Proven ability to work with AI coding agents as a core part of your daily development workflow.

* Strong fundamentals in software engineering.

* Self-directed execution and proactive communication.

* Genuine curiosity and hunger to stay at the frontier of AI tooling.

Preferred Qualifications

* Experience building telemetry, observability, or monitoring into AI-powered systems.

* Familiarity with crypto or blockchain infrastructure environments.

* Prior experience in a developer experience, platform engineering, or internal tooling role.
