  • Partner closely with cross-functional partners to deploy scalable AI services that enable product teams to rapidly build AI-powered experiences.
  • Rapidly prototype emerging AI techniques and translate successful experiments into production-ready platform capabilities.
  • Support production systems by debugging failures and continuously improving latency, reliability, observability, and operational performance.
  • Stay current with advances in AI engineering, foundation models, and applied machine learning, applying them where they create meaningful customer value.
  • Optimize AI systems for performance, latency, reliability, scalability, and cost.
  • Contribute to a collaborative engineering culture focused on ownership and continuous learning.
Required Skills and Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 5+ years of experience building production software systems.
  • Strong software engineering skills with experience in Rust, Python, or similar programming languages.
  • Proven ability to build scalable backend services, distributed systems, APIs, or data-intensive applications.
  • Hands-on experience integrating large language models or other foundation models into production applications.
  • Ability to design, evaluate, and improve AI systems through experimentation, quantitative evaluation, and continuous iteration.
  • Familiarity with modern AI engineering patterns such as structured outputs, tool calling, context engineering, multimodal systems, or AI workflows.
  • Strong understanding of software engineering best practices, including testing, observability, reliability, and maintainability.
  • Demonstrated ability to take ownership of technically ambiguous projects from design through production.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work effectively across cross-functional teams.
  • Growth mindset and low ego, with a willingness to learn, adapt, and collaborate.
Preferred Skills and Qualifications
  • Experience building reusable AI capabilities or shared AI services.
  • Familiarity with deploying, optimizing, or serving open-source foundation models.
  • Knowledge of evaluation frameworks, benchmarks, or datasets for AI applications.
  • Experience with Kubernetes, cloud-native infrastructure, or distributed systems.
  • Experience developing production software in Rust.
  • Familiarity with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), multimodal AI, AI agents, or model orchestration.
  • Domain expertise building complex AI systems such as multimodal reasoning, long-running inference workflows, AI agents, or model orchestration.
