Desirable

• The Engineering team is seeking an experienced Staff Software Engineer to join our AI Solutions team
• The ideal candidate will be instrumental in developing robust AI-driven applications, contributing to both our product offerings and internal process enhancements
• This role demands a blend of technical prowess, innovative thinking, and a commitment to quality
• Design, develop, and maintain AI solutions, focusing on high-quality, scalable, and reliable production-level code
• Work collaboratively with cross-functional teams to integrate AI features into products and internal tools
• Prototype and iterate on solutions rapidly in Python, with a strong grasp of machine learning principles
• Utilize machine learning frameworks such as scikit-learn and PyTorch to implement and optimize algorithms
• Leverage APIs from leading LLM providers and other tools like LangChain to implement RAG and agentic workflows across the enterprise

• It starts the same for every candidate: getting to know the team members through 1-2 conversations about Vestwell, your experience, and your interests
• Next steps can vary by role, but the usual next steps are a skill or experience screen (e.g. a coding interview for an Engineer, a portfolio review for a Designer, deeper experience call for other roles) which leads to a virtual or in-person interview panel after that if the screens go well
• Before making an offer, our interview process concludes with a references check stage for your recruiter to meet with a current or former supervisor and peer
• We prioritize transparency and lack of surprise throughout the process
