What you need
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field (or equivalent professional experience delivering enterprise technology solutions)
- 8+ years of professional experience in full-stack software development
- Practical, end-to-end experience building RAG or agentic systems: retrieval, tool-calling, structured outputs, multi-step reasoning, and verification/evaluation loops
- Experience designing and running evaluation approaches for nondeterministic systems: curated datasets, automated metrics, human review, and production feedback
- Experience establishing basic AI observability (quality, safety, reliability, latency, token usage, cost) for features you build
- Working understanding of AI security and responsible-use risks, prompt injection, tool abuse, data leakage, access control, model limitations
Nice to have
- Deep practical knowledge of retrieval-augmented generation and semantic search, including embedding and reranking models, retrieval design, grounding, citations, and evaluation
- Experience with agent platforms (e.g., LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, or comparable), vector databases, and multi-agent orchestration patterns
- Working familiarity with Python and lakehouse/data-catalog concepts (e.g., Databricks, Unity Catalog)
- Experience shipping an internal AI product from scratch as part of a small, fast-moving team, comfortable with a 'scrappy MVP, iterate' delivery style
What you get
- Open paid time off policy
- Flexible work schedules
- Medical, dental, and life insurance
- Parental leave for you, your spouse/domestic partner, and children
- 401k with company match
Worth weighing
- The role involves significant collaboration with various departments, which may require navigating different workflows and priorities.
- No salary listed in the posting, which may be a consideration for candidates.
- The position requires a hands-on coding approach, which may not suit those preferring more managerial or strategic roles.
