Key Responsibilities
- Develop and deploy agentic workflows and automation pipelines (approx. 60% of role).
- Build and maintain production-ready services, REST APIs, and integrations (approx. 30%).
- Ship production solutions in days, not months, emphasizing scrappiness and speed.
- Collaborate across product, engineering, and design to deliver end-to-end AI-powered features.
- Evaluate and integrate state-of-the-art LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, etc.) into production use cases.
- Contribute to building a scalable workflow infrastructure that will support 100+ workflows.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree plus 4 years, or Master’s degree plus 2 years in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
- Strong software engineering foundation (Python required; solid coding practices).
- Experience building AI-powered applications in the past 1–2 years using ChatGPT, Claude, Anthropic, or Mistral.
- Hands-on experience with REST API development and deploying services into cloud environments (GCP preferred).
- Clear understanding of MLOps, model deployment, or workflow automation in production systems.
Desirable Skills
- Background in a software engineering to ML path.
- Experience with agentic workflows or adjacent skills such as prompt tuning, eval pipelines, or automation frameworks.
- Startup experience: demonstrated scrappiness, speed, and bias toward shipping.
- Exposure to both startup agility and big tech engineering rigor is ideal.
- Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.
