• Collaborate closely with leadership, applied scientists, and other engineers to ensure alignment on decisions

• Stay up-to-date with the AI landscape and technologies, ensuring we are using the best tool at hand for our platform

• Help uplevel the engineering team and shape culture and technical best practices

Preferred qualifications

You might thrive in this role if you:

• Have 5+ years of full-time software engineering experience in a production environment

• Are experienced with web development and fluent with React, Typescript, and Python

• Can leverage the latest generative AI techniques (prompt engineering, RAG, and more)
