  • Champion AI Innovation: Serve as the AI evangelist on your team—experiment with the latest AI models & techniques (LLMs, few-shot learning, RAG..) and share your insights to uplift the entire engineering organization.
  • Own and Improve: Take end-to-end ownership of key components of our codebase, ensuring that both traditional and AI-powered features are robust, scalable, and maintainable.
  • Drive Creative Problem-Solving: Embrace ambiguity, experiment boldly, and develop creative solutions that push the boundaries of what our product can do.

  • LLM tooling: have experience leveraging modern tools to develop with LLMs and deploy/monitor/experiment with them in production.
