  • Collaborate closely with the Product, Growth, and Engineering teams
  • Continually refine existing AI products - leverage new models, new tools, and new prompting techniques
  • Manage and oversee the evals process

Qualifications

  • 6+ years of software engineering
  • 3+ years of ML experience
  • Operate with high energy, good at frequent context switching and making progress on multiple projects at once
  • Experience building AI prototypes or shipped AI products to users (send us examples that we can try)
  • Expertise building production-grade RAG & agentic pipelines (hybrid search, evals, etc.)
  • Extreme ownership and ruthless prioritization
  • Experience building and optimizing data pipelines (AirFlow, AirByte, et.c)
  • Experience using Pinecone (or other vector DBs), Llama Index, Langchain
  • Fluent in Python and Typescript (experience using Cursor is a huge plus)
  • Clear understanding of when to apply various prompt engineering techniques: COT, emotional reasoning, few-shot, etc.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to initiate and drive projects proactively and accurately

 

Compensation

  • Salary Range: $150-185k + equity


 

We pride ourselves on our great benefits, including:
