Responsibilities
- Design, build, and ship production-quality backend services, APIs, and AI platform components used across multiple engineering teams
- Build and integrate LLM-powered systems such as RAG pipelines, AI SDKs, evaluation workflows, guardrails, prompt/tool orchestration, and model observability
- Improve the reliability, scalability, observability, and operational quality of production AI systems
- Build internal tools, frameworks, automation, and documentation that improve developer productivity and AI capabilities
- Participate in code reviews, design reviews, debugging, incident response, and operational support
- Contribute to technical design for complex projects, including evaluating tradeoffs and proposing pragmatic implementation plans
- Partner with product, design, and engineering teams to translate platform needs into well-designed technical solutions
- Help identify and reduce technical debt, reliability risks, and friction in the software development lifecycle
- Collaborate with Staff and senior engineers to establish reusable patterns and raise engineering standards
- Use agentic coding tools and LLM-assisted development as a primary part of your workflow — this is how the entire team operates
- Critically evaluate AI-generated code for correctness, edge cases, and regressions — shipping quality output regardless of how it was produced
- Contribute to the team's evolving practices around AI-accelerated development and testing
