- Create user-facing feedback loops to measure AI output quality and inform broader AI team
- Instrument AI features with observability tools, including latency, engagement, and drop-off metrics, alongside full-stack integration testing

- Mentor engineers newer to AI product development and contribute to design reviews
Requirements

- Solid Python and Node.js skills, with experience integrating APIs from LLM providers and orchestrating frameworks
- Hands-on experience with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.), prompt engineering, RAG, evaluation, and structured outputs in production
- Familiarity with agent frameworks (LangGraph, LangChain, or custom runtimes) and building product surfaces on agentic workflows

- Strong product sense and a track record of cross-functional collaboration with AI/ML engineers, product managers, and designers
