Artificial Intelligence (AI)Machine LearningSoftware

Responsibilities

Make things users can touch. Craft clean, snappy UIs (Next.js/React) and the APIs that power them

Use the most advanced AI tool stack. Use every available AI engineering tool to 100x your shipping ability

Keep the pipes flowing. Spin up CI/CD, write migrations, and add the logs/alerts that let us sleep at night

Sprinkle in the smarts. When an LLM or vector search makes the product simpler, you’ll wire it in without fanfare

Talk to customers. Jump on a quick call, watch how they actually work, and turn their “I wish…” into “Oh wow, it’s live already.”

Grow the team. Pair program, review code with kindness, and help us hire more smart+friendly experts

Own features end-to-end: database schema, backend service, front-end component, deployment, and metrics

Design and maintain microservices (TypeScript/Node, Go, or Python) that stay healthy under real traffic

Build cloud infrastructure (AWS, Terraform/CDK, Kubernetes) that can survive an outage and keep the bill sane

Bake in security - RBAC, secret management, threat modeling - every time you merge

Stay curious; try new tools, share what works, and toss what doesn’t
