Responsibilities
Design, build, and launch new user-facing features powered by large language models (LLMs)
Own major product initiatives from zero-to-one, in partnership with a small but mighty team
Collaborate with Product and Design to shape new products and features: bringing your creativity and ingenuity to our roadmap as well challenging assumptions, refining scope, and helping us ship elegant, focused, customer-centric MVPs and iterations
Integrate with third-party APIs like OpenAI and explore new model capabilities
Build exciting new features in Ruby on Rails, Typescript, React Native, and whatever other languages/technologies we adopt to best serve the needs of our customers

Mentor other engineers through code reviews and design discussions
