  • 7+ years of professional software engineering experience.
  • Track record of shipping ML/LLM-powered features to production and owning their quality.
  • Deep knowledge of LLM application engineering: prompting, structured outputs, retrieval/context assembly (RAG), and agentic workflows.
  • Experience with evaluation methods: golden datasets, offline harnesses, online monitoring, and north-star metrics.
  • Expertise in retrieval and embeddings: vector search, semantic retrieval quality, and data/label flywheels.
  • Strong proficiency in Python and/or TypeScript.
  • Familiarity with modern backend stacks (Node.js/NestJS, MongoDB, message queues).
  • Fluent use of AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or agentic coding.
  • Ability to think critically and translate prototypes into solutions for real customer problems.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills with a customer-centric mindset.

Responsibilities

  • Own AI features end-to-end, from problem statement to GA, including initiative classification, narratives, work codes, daily themes, compliance, and vision extraction.
  • Move features through rollout tiers (prototype, design partner, beta, GA) using eval baselines and capacity planning.
  • Build and defend evaluation harnesses, including golden datasets, north-star metrics, and online monitoring.
  • Lead the 'meaning' layer of the semantic stack, including retrieval semantics, embedding quality, and the label flywheel.
  • Push output quality through context assembly, prompt optimization, and per-customer/per-firm generation.
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams, including product managers and designers, to define measures of success and deliver high-quality solutions.
