Qualification
Required
You write exceptional code + deeply care about the craft of coding (5+ years of experience): you build elegant, production-ready code; you have strong proficiency across multiple programming languages
You are excited about AI. Many strong candidates will be building AI systems for the first time in a production context, so curiosity and learning speed matter more to us than prior buzzword exposure
You love solving hard, new problems: you are comfortable self-teaching, asking 'why?,' and experimenting to solve problems you haven't seen before
You thrive in high-ownership environments: you take initiative, function well with limited structure, and enjoy shaping how work is done. Whether you come from prior start-up experience or a mature organization, you have owned internal systems, shipped production software, and/or made the transition from data/ML work into scalable engineering
You are comfortable talking with users: you deeply care about the user and skillfully navigate user conversations to ensure what we're building meets their needs
You are a great teammate: you are comfortable helping others (and asking for help), you champion integrity in everything, and want to build a one-in-a-career culture of personal growth
