About the Team
We are building a new AI team within Engineering, tasked with driving AI adoption across 1GLOBAL. The team’s mission is to make AI a practical, governed, and well-supported capability for every part of the company, from the engineers writing our software to the operations teams running the business. Beyond the internal platform, the team will contribute AI-powered capabilities to our commercial product lines.
This is a foundational hire. As one of the first engineers on the team, you will work alongside a dedicated product manager and engineering team lead to set the technical direction, make early architectural decisions, and build the systems that the rest of the AI function will grow on.
