• You embed deeply with customer teams, diagnose root problems, and architect AI-powered workflows that run at scale. You don’t just debug code—you debug systems, context, and customer pain points
• Production-grade delivery: Your solution builds consistently convert to scaled deployments in production environments
• Reusable impact: You author libraries, prompts, and scaffolds that power multiple deployments and projects
• Platform influence: Your work shapes internal tooling and is integrated into platform roadmap and primitives
• Velocity and precision: You move fast without breaking things—shaping resilient, secure systems in high-stakes contexts
• Engineering leadership: You are trusted by architects, PMs, and customer teams to lead implementation from zero to one
• Experience: In leveraging or critically thinking about how to integrate AI into work processes, decision-making, or problem-solving. This may include using AI-powered tools, automating workflows, analyzing AI-driven insights, or exploring AI’s potential impact on the function or industry
• Relevant Experience: 10+ years of software engineering, including 2+ years building systems in customer-facing or embedded roles
• System architecture: Proven ability to design and implement AI-native software in production environments
• Engineering depth: Strength in backend (Python, Node.js, Java), frontend (React, Angular), APIs (REST/GraphQL)
• LLM tooling: Familiarity with LangChain, Semantic Kernel, prompt chaining, vector search, and context management
• Performance & observability: Skilled in debugging distributed systems, tuning for latency, and implementing monitoring
• Platform mindset: Can contribute to shared SDKs and tools, raising engineering velocity for the whole org
• Product sensibility: Prioritize for user value, MVP iteration, and long-term scale
• DevOps fluency: Experience deploying in AWS, Azure, or GCP with CI/CD, containers, and infra-as-code
• Field readiness: Able to travel up to 30% to embed onsite and deliver where it matters
