• 3+ years of professional experience in software, product engineering, applied AI, or forward deployed engineering
• Strong engineering fundamentals with proficiency in Python and experience building full-stack applications
• You have built with LLM APIs and understand how to turn model capabilities into useful workflows, not just demos
• Experience working close to users, understanding their real constraints, and turning ambiguous problems into working systems
• Comfortable with messy environments, unclear requirements, legacy systems, stakeholder complexity, and production constraints
• Take ownership, create structure where none exists, and care deeply about whether the solution actually works in the field

Nice to have

• Experience with TypeScript, cloud infrastructure, integrations, and Terraform

What they offer

• Attractive, optimized total compensation package based on your expertise and impact
