Material Bank is the world’s largest material marketplace for the architecture and design industry. Operating in 37 countries, our platform has become the standard for design professionals around the globe.

About the role 

As an Applied AI Engineer, you will drive the design, build, and deployment of next-generation AI-powered experiences across Material Bank’s platform. You will work as part of the team responsible for taking ideas from concept to production — building intelligent systems and user experiences that blend cutting-edge AI capabilities with the high standards of quality, aesthetics, and usability expected in the architecture and community. 

This is a senior-level individual contributor role focused on applied AI product development. You will work across the stack to architect and deploy scalable AI systems that enhance how users discover, understand, and engage with products, materials, and creative content. Your work will span areas such as multimodal search and understanding, AI-assisted content generation, intelligent workflows, personalization, creative tooling, and agentic systems. 

We are looking for someone who not only understands modern AI systems technically, but also has strong product instincts, visual sensibility, and genuine passion for building AI experiences that feel thoughtful, polished, and useful. AI will play a foundational role in the future of Material Bank’s platform, and you will help define and build that future. 

What you’ll do 

  • Design, build, and deploy end-to-end AI-powered product experiences from concept through production. 
  • Architect and implement scalable AI systems leveraging LLMs, embeddings, multimodal models, retrieval systems, agent frameworks, and modern data infrastructure.
