Job Summary
Design and build AI-powered product features including agent architectures, RAG pipelines, and model orchestration with full-stack ownership of application, data, and infrastructure. Make architectural choices that optimize for reversibility and durability while mentoring engineers on technical judgment and mental models. Calibrate involvement to stake levels, managing the blast radius of technical decisions and embedding with product teams to drive end-to-end delivery from idea through production.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's Degree
- Minimum 8+ years of experience in software engineering
- Meaningful time spent at a senior/staff/principal level owning technical direction
- Production experience building AI-powered features — agent systems, RAG, model orchestration, or similar
- Not just prompting or fine-tuning in isolation
- Strong full-stack capability — comfortable across application code, data stores, and infrastructure
- Experience with AWS at scale — you've designed, deployed, and operated production systems on AWS, not just used it for personal projects
- Demonstrated ability to mentor and elevate other engineers — through pairing, design review, or informal technical leadership
- Minimum of three days per week from the office
- In-person working
Desired Qualifications
- Experience in regulated industries (healthcare, pharma, finance) where compliance constraints shape technical decisions
- Background building multi-agent or agentic AI systems in production
- Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (CDK, Terraform, Pulumi) and container orchestration (EKS, ECS)
- Experience working in product-led engineering organizations where engineers own outcomes, not just outputs
