About the role:

As a full-stack software engineer, you will own end-to-end development of breakthrough technologies that rely heavily on large language models. Your work will span the stack, from frontend development, to the Python micro-service layer, associated APIs, and data storage on Google Cloud Platform. You will work closely with domain experts to refine and iterate on our technology stack, and we will rely on you to apply your knowledge and expertise to come up with and implement novel and impactful ideas.

How you will make 10X Impact:
  • Design and implement robust, automated, production-grade software using horizontally scalable components, while applying software engineering best practices. This includes strong code quality and understanding of the software release lifecycle, e.g. unit testing, CI/CD and production operations
  • Work effectively with cross-functional teams of engineers, product managers, and domain experts
  • Wrangle Generative AI tools (similar to Codex or Claude) to your benefit, multiplying your productivity
  • Have a strong growth mindset; partner with senior engineers, be comfortable being uncomfortable and learning new things.

What you should have:
  • Bachelors/Masters in Computer Science is preferred, but at least 1+ years of professional experience engineering software products is desired.
  • On-the-job experience designing, developing, maintaining and releasing software, along with ownership in making product tradeoffs and design decisions
  • Strong proficiency in Typescript and Javascript for frontend development
  • Strong proficiency in Python development, with experience in the latest Python toolchains and frameworks, e.g. uv, ruff, fastapi, Pydantic
  • Experience interacting with diverse data storage solutions, e.g. NoSQL, SQL, blob storage, and understanding the pros and cons of each
  • Experience with managing software in production, including configuration, deployment and monitoring
  • Experience with Cloud providers such as Google Cloud Platform or AWS.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, e.g. design docs, PR descriptions

It'd be great if you had these:
  • Experience in infrastructure-as-code, e.g. Terraform
  • Exposure to productions systems that rely heavily on ML models, and/or experience with model deployment
  • Experience working in start-up like environments where things can change on a dime
  • Track record of delivering high quality solutions to large, complex software problems
  • Experience in finding the exact right meme or gif for any situation
  • Joy in learning new technologies, learning from your teammates and teaching them as well!
  • Passion for delighting users, but also extracting energy from both good and difficult feedback
  • Experience in agonizing over a technical decision for about ten minutes before understanding what the product and the team needs most and doing that (but then still wondering if you did the right thing)
