In this role, you will champion the developer experience by building the internal platform and tooling that every AI engineer at our company trusts and relies on. You'll craft intuitive dashboards, user-friendly CLI tools, clean APIs, and elegant automation.
About the role
- Craft Beautiful Internal UIs: Develop intuitive and accessible internal platform interfaces—such as dashboards, model registries, and experiment trackers—using React and Next.js to elevate our internal developer experience.
- Nurture Backend Infrastructure: Design and support reliable backend services and APIs in Python, ensuring our application teams can seamlessly tap into the platform's full capabilities.
- Create and refine thoughtful automation for model deployment, rollbacks, and scaling workflows using scripts, APIs, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC), embedding safety and predictability into every release.
- Weave monitoring and observability tools (such as Grafana, Prometheus, DataDog, and LangSmith) directly into the platform, giving our teams the clarity and insights they need to succeed.
- Write comprehensive testing, evaluation, and validation logic for machine learning pipeline components to ensure high reliability and product excellence.
- Partner with Internal Teams: Act as a supportive resource for our internal engineering community, listening to their experiences and gathering empathetic feedback to continuously iterate on our tooling.
- Share Knowledge Generously: Foster a collaborative environment by documenting systems clearly and contributing to engineering wikis and runbooks so that the entire team can grow together.
