What the job involves

- Design & Build AI-Powered Features: Architect, implement, and ship data-driven product features, always starting with the customer problem first. From prototyping through production, you’ll apply the right level of technology (whether simple heuristics or advanced AI) to deliver impact
- Build for Production: Build maintainable and scalable systems, including writing clean, testable code, integrating with new and existing data pipelines, and deploying solutions and services into cloud environments
- End to End Solution Delivery: Operate as an end-to-end developer in a fast paced startup. This involves identifying opportunities, prototyping solutions, securing stakeholder support, and productionalizing features that deliver measurable business value
- Applied AI Innovation: Research and apply modern methods (AI agents, LLMs, RAG, embeddings, supervised/unsupervised learning) to power new product capabilities, prioritizing impact and speed over perfection
- Enhance User Experience Through AI: Translate business problems into AI solutions that improve user workflows, accelerate insights, and drive measurable value
