HybridEngineering$147k–$231k/yrFull-time
Responsibilities
- Design and build on-device AI systems on Windows using C# and native Windows APIs.
- Develop system-level and agentic automation that can observe, reason, and take actions across the Windows OS and applications.
- Integrate AI capabilities directly into PC workflows, services, and long-running system processes, not cloud-only pipelines.
- Optimize solutions for latency, reliability, security, and hardware constraints (CPU/GPU/NPU, memory, power).
- Build automation frameworks to configure, control, evaluate, and manage large fleets of Windows PCs.
- Automate complex, multi-step PC workflows (installation, configuration, validation, recovery).
- Operate comfortably in environments that require hands-on interaction with real devices, not emulators alone.
- Partner closely with IT, firmware, OS, and platform teams on hardware-software integration issues.
- Create and run rigorous, real-world, automated performance validation on live hardware.
- Define evaluation metrics for accuracy, robustness, latency, and regression detection.
- Design experimentation pipelines that scale across physical labs of devices.
- Leverage and help evolve the team’s automation lab infrastructure for continuous validation.
- Lead complex, ambiguous projects with high autonomy, from incubation to production.
- Mentor engineers in on-device AI, Windows systems engineering, and automation best practices.
- Document architectures, experiments, and design decisions to raise the organization’s technical bar.
Requirements
- 7-10 years of experience in software engineering, systems engineering, or applied AI.
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science, information technology or a related field.
- Deep Windows expertise (OS internals, services, processes, APIs, tooling).
- Experience with on-device AI systems (local inference, system integration, hardware-awareness).
- Experience with agentic and tool-driven automation systems for orchestrating multi-step PC workflows.
- System-level debugging and performance analysis experience.
- Strong understanding of secure and reliable system design.
Qualifications
- Experience managing and automating fleets of physical Windows PCs.
- Experience with system-level AI or automation running continuously on end-user devices.
- Experience with evaluation labs, hardware farms, or large-scale automation environments.
- Experience with voice, vision, or multimodal AI systems operating locally.
- Experience shipping deeply integrated AI features used at scale.
Skills
- C# and .NET for production systems development.
