You’ll collaborate closely with senior engineers, data engineers, and platform teams to deliver reliable, well-tested systems, while growing your skills in distributed computing, cloud-native development, and applied AI. This is a hands-on role with real ownership, meaningful impact, and strong mentorship in a fast-moving environment.

• Working knowledge of software engineering fundamentals, including testing, version control, and CI workflows
• Experience using Kubernetes to develop and deploying cloud-native applications
• Experience writing clean, maintainable code and contributing to shared codebases
  
  

Preferred

• Exposure to AI/ML-enabled application development, including LLM-based features, agents, or automation.
• Familiarity with modern AI and agent frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, or Guidance.
• Experience building RAG-style systems using vector databases such as Chroma or Pinecone.
• Familiarity with tools used in data and streaming systems (e.g., Spark, Kafka, Ray).
  
  

Wondering if you’re a good fit? We believe in investing in our people, and value candidates who can bring their own diversified experiences to our teams – even if you aren't a 100% skill or experience match. Here are a few qualities we’ve found compatible with our team. If some of this describes you, we’d love to talk.

• You enjoy building software that helps other teams move faster
• You’re curious about applying AI to real product and infrastructure problems
