Company mission
To bring generative AI to the enterprise.
Role
Who you are
- 3-5+ years of hands-on experience as a software engineer with a strong emphasis on Python development in production environments
- Proven expertise in building and deploying generative AI applications, leveraging LLMs, vector databases like Pinecone, Weaviate, or pgvector, and modern open-source agentic frameworks
- Practical experience with microservices architecture, RESTful APIs, cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure, and containerization with Docker and Kubernetes
- Solid grasp of modern web technologies including FastAPI, Asyncio, database systems like PostgreSQL, and hands-on experience leveraging AI developer tooling like Claude, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot to accelerate your engineering workflows
- Exposure to enterprise architecture including practical experience implementing IAM, SSO, SAML, OAuth, OIDC, RBAC, robust security best practices, or building services for enterprise administration and billing systems
- A Connect mindset that thrives in collaborative settings where you actively engage with cross-functional teams and mentor other engineers, a Challenge spirit that drives you to tackle complex technical hurdles and proactively suggest innovative improvements, and an Own attitude where you take full accountability for delivering high-quality, resilient, and scalable code from conception to production
What the job involves
- Imagine stepping into a role where your code directly empowers the world's largest enterprises to safely adopt superintelligence
- As a software engineer, generative ai at WRITER, you'll be at the forefront of expanding human capacity by building the secure, scalable foundation that allows our generative AI solutions to thrive in complex corporate environments
- The impact of this work is massive – for example, in the consumer packaged goods industry alone, our AI adoption is driving 69% revenue increases and 72% cost reductions
- This role is designed for a well-rounded engineering generalist who leans heavily into generative AI while bringing a whole-systems mindset to architectural design
- If you thrive on proactivity without red tape and love owning projects from proposal to deployment, you'll shape the future of AI and contribute to a product that’s changing how the world works
- You'll report to an engineering director or a senior engineering manager
- Design and develop robust, secure, and scalable generative AI services and applications using Python and modern frameworks to drive enterprise-wide transformation
- Build and optimize high-performance, low-latency APIs and microservices to integrate advanced AI models and sophisticated agentic workflows into our core platform
- Act as a whole-systems thinker by making meaningful system design decisions and owning the architecture of core platform components from initial proposal through production deployment
- Implement and maintain responsive user interfaces using technologies like React and TypeScript to deliver intuitive user experiences and bridge the gap between backend services and frontend enablement
- Drive proactivity without red tape by clearly communicating changes, plans, and proposals to cross-functional teams and collaborating closely with product managers, data scientists, and DevOps engineers
- Partner with DevOps teams to build continuous deployment, logging, and monitoring systems that ensure top-tier performance, security, and reliability across distributed workloads

Our take
AI-assisted writing tools have taken off over recent years. With the likes of high-exposure company Grammarly accelerating adoption of such tools, a flurry of startups have appeared to offer their own takes. Writer’s angle is to leverage AI as a means of standardizing and scaling both content and communications for business teams. The tool offers autofilling and inline suggestions that keep content aligned with pre-determined company language and style guides.
This branded fine-tuning function distinguishes it from full copy-generation competitors, as well as from Grammarly itself, which is a more generalist copyediting tool. It subsequently caters to major enterprise clients looking to maintain standards across multiple and sprawling teams, and the company has managed to net major clients like Deloitte, Twitter, UiPath, and Accenture.
While AI-related buzz remains solidly around generative AIs like ChatGPT and Bard, Writer's narrow target market - in which it has already found success - supplies plenty of scope to grow, as AI copyediting tools look set to rapidly become content industry standard. With continued new launches and updates to its offerings, as well as an impressive $200 million Series C awarded in 2024, the company is well-placed for further success.
