Senior Software Engineer, AI

• Own features and systems end-to-end for our Corporate Insight Agent - from requirements gathering and solution design through implementation, deployment, and iteration

• Serve as a subject matter expert across the stack, reporting to the Head of Corporate Applications, who will provide hands-on mentorship in AI-native development, systems design, front-end development, and cloud infrastructure

• Collaborate closely with Corporate Product Management and business stakeholders to identify opportunities, shape requirements, and revamp critical business processes

• Drive initiatives proactively - you won't be waiting for fully written specs; you'll help define what gets built, why it matters, and how to execute effectively

• Balance rapid prototyping and long-term engineering rigor, knowing when to build lightweight POCs to validate market fit versus scalable, maintainable production systems

• Iterate closely with users and stakeholders, incorporating feedback quickly while maintaining a strong engineering bar for quality, reliability, and observability

• Leverage AI tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex to improve productivity and ship trustworthy solutions faster through strong engineering practices, code quality, and documentation

• You have 6+ years of hands-on software development experience with a proven track record of shipping customer-facing applications - and the impact to show for it

• You have hands-on experience building production AI systems and a strong understanding of how to optimize AI agents for quality, reliability, latency, and cost

• You are stack-flexible: comfortable working across TypeScript, Python, React, APIs, distributed systems, and cloud infrastructure. You learn new tools quickly and don't let unfamiliar technology slow you down

• You have strong full stack engineering fundamentals, including experience building high-quality user experiences, scalable backend systems, observable services, and reliable workflows

• You have an AI-accelerated workflow - you actively use AI coding tools to improve output and ship faster, not as an experiment, but as part of your day-to-day engineering practice

• You are passionate about technology and continuously stay current with emerging trends, tools, and engineering practices that improve product quality, team velocity, and developer effectiveness

• You care deeply about craftsmanship and user experience, with a passion for delivering polished, high-quality solutions that delight users

• You are a strong communicator who can work directly with non-technical stakeholders, translate business needs into technical solutions, and clearly explain engineering tradeoffs

• You are responsive and reliable - you take ownership of production systems and communicate proactively, especially under pressure

• You hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, STEM, or a related technical discipline

• We care about your personal life, and we mean it. We offer flexible work hours, flexible vacation, a generous 401K match, parental leave, team events, wellness budget, learning reimbursement, and more!
