• Ship customer-facing AI features  

• Drive technical decisions from design through production rollout  

• Own systems in production, including monitoring, reliability improvements, and incident response participation  

• Build and maintain LLM evaluation workflows, including quality/safety checks, baselines, and regression detection  

• Partner with R&D, product, and security teams  

• Evaluate emerging AI technologies and patterns, and advocate adoption when justified  

What we’re looking for 

• Strong software engineering fundamentals with hands-on ownership of production systems; Python required  

• Solid LLM application development experience, including context design, structured outputs, and orchestration  

• Hands-on experience with LLM evaluations, including experiment design, regression detection, gating, and observability  

• Experience building and operating backend services/APIs in production
