  • Build and shape user experiences using context engineering and generative AI capabilities.
  • Design and build scalable and performant agentic systems, taking throughput and latency into account, recognizing how and where to apply parallel processing, stream processing, and asynchronous I/O.
  • Evaluate the performance and quality of the agentic solutions you are building against customer use cases.
  • Solve challenges with probabilistic software, ensuring defensive error handling, streaming data optimization, caching, and explainability.
  • Implement logging, tracing mechanisms, and tools to facilitate debugging, diagnostics, and performance tracking.
  • Engage in light DevOps tasks, leveraging infrastructure best practices to deploy and monitor AI-driven systems.

Requirements
  • 10+ years of enterprise engineering experience
  • Adaptable and Innovative Mindset: Fearless about learning new technologies and excited to work in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment. Possess a problem-first approach with a careful and principled methodology for building resilient systems.
  • Expertise in shaping experiences with LLMs and agents.
  • Proficient with evaluation of ML model performance.
  • Strong Programming and Distributed Systems Development Skills: Proficient in Python, Java, or other languages. Experience building full-stack applications with expertise in either backend, frontend, or both. Ability to handle error cases, write asynchronous code, and work effectively with streaming data. Professional experience in developing, scaling, and maintaining applications at a production scale.
  • Experience with Modern Software Development Practices: Familiar with DevOps principles, infrastructure best practices, and cloud-based deployments. Knowledgeable about queues, message buses, and event-driven architectures. Customers see, understand, and act on data.
