About the role

  • Rapidly prototype and ship AI-powered features that simplify and eliminate manual workflow
  • Work closely with the Seattle based VP of Product to experiment, validate, and iterate on new user experiences
  • Build scrappy demos in days, then harden the best ideas into production-ready features
  • Apply state-of-the-art AI models (LLMs, embeddings, RAG, agents, etc.) to real-world product problems
  • Design lightweight evaluation frameworks for prototype success (accuracy, speed, cost, usability)
  • Help shape the culture and foundation of our AI usage at Heard

Requirements

  • Strong engineering fundamentals with fluency in prototyping and building full-stack features (Python/TypeScript/React)
  • Applied AI experience using APIs, libraries, and frameworks (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, HuggingFace)
  • Product-mindedness: You care about solving real user problems, not just building cool tech
  • Bias to action: You thrive in ambiguity, build fast, and aren’t afraid to throw away work
  • Startup DNA: Resourceful, collaborative, low-ego, and energized by solving messy problems
  • Excited to work in person in Seattle with a small, fast-moving team
