  • Build internal tools and user-facing product features powered by LLMs and agents
  • Design evaluation and monitoring systems for workflow quality, reliability, latency, and production readiness
  • Improve developer velocity through strong abstractions, automation, and AI-native tooling
  • Rapidly prototype and ship new AI-driven product capabilities

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience building production software systems
  • Strong backend engineering skills, including APIs, data pipelines, and system design
  • Experience building and shipping LLM-powered applications or agentic product workflows
  • Strong understanding of prompt design, tool use, retrieval, orchestration, and evaluation techniques
  • Ability to move quickly from prototype to production
  • Strong product intuition and desire to build user-facing AI experiences
  • Comfort working across multiple parts of the stack with high ownership

Qualifications

  • Full-stack software development
