About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Design, build, and ship production-quality backend services, APIs, and AI platform components used across multiple engineering teams
  • Build and integrate LLM-powered systems such as RAG pipelines, AI SDKs, evaluation workflows, guardrails, prompt/tool orchestration, and model observability
  • Improve the reliability, scalability, observability, and operational quality of production AI systems
  • Build internal tools, frameworks, automation, and documentation that improve developer productivity and AI capabilities
  • Participate in code reviews, design reviews, debugging, incident response, and operational support
  • Contribute to technical design for complex projects, including evaluating tradeoffs and proposing pragmatic implementation plans
  • Partner with product, design, and engineering teams to translate platform needs into well-designed technical solutions
  • Help identify and reduce technical debt, reliability risks, and friction in the software development lifecycle
  • Collaborate with Staff and senior engineers to establish reusable patterns and raise engineering standards
  • Use agentic coding tools and LLM-assisted development as a primary part of your workflow — this is how the entire team operates
  • Critically evaluate AI-generated code for correctness, edge cases, and regressions — shipping quality output regardless of how it was produced
