About the role

  • Engage with non-technical stakeholders to decipher the 'signal from the noise.' You will transform high-level opportunities into precise technical specifications, ensuring the pod builds solutions that drive measurable ROI.
  • Leverage a full-spectrum skillset to build immediate, throwaway proofs-of-concept. You validate assumptions interactively with stakeholders, shortening the feedback loop from weeks to hours.
  • Act as the hands-on integrator who connects abstract AI models and data platforms into complex, real-world hybrid-cloud environments.
  • You are responsible for the 'last mile' of engineering—guiding teams on best practices, removing operational blockers, and ensuring the solution is adopted into daily workflows.
  • Act as the 'eyes and ears' for Product Management. You will capture the friction points users face and feed detailed technical insights back to the core engineering teams.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of engineering experience, with a significant portion spent in consultative, solutions architecture, or forward-deployed roles.
  • Proven ability to positively affect change and define technical approaches in environments with fuzzy definitions, shifting requirements, and no documentation.
  • Ability to connect abstract AI models to real-world human workflows and business logic.
  • A versatile technical skillset across multiple languages and the ability to seamlessly switch between hands-on coding and leading strategic workshops.
  • Strong proficiency in Kubernetes and Cloud-Native technologies to troubleshoot deployments in distributed environments.
  • Advanced oral and written skills. You must be able to hold your own with executive stakeholders and explain complex distributed systems concepts to non-engineers.

  • Flexible WFH Policy
  • Mental & Physical Wellness programs
  • Phone and Internet Reimbursement program
