ROLE OVERVIEW
Join us as a Senior Software Engineer building the next generation of AI products. This is a hands-on senior software development role: you'll spend roughly 80% of your time designing, building, and shipping full-stack product features and backend services, working with the latest AI, cloud, and developer technologies to deliver solutions used across the organization. The remaining ~20% is platform work — keeping the cloud environments, data pipelines, and deployment tooling behind our AI products reliable and secure.
Working closely with product and engineering, you will own features end to end — from technical design through release and iteration — while contributing to the CI/CD, infrastructure, and security practices that keep our AI platforms running well.
CORE RESPONSIBILITIES
Software Engineering
- Build full-stack applications: Design, develop, and maintain Python & Node.js backend services and modern React frontends, delivering reliable APIs and intuitive user experiences.
- Own delivery end to end: Translate business requirements into technical solutions, leading features through design, implementation, testing, deployment, and iteration.
- Develop integrations: Connect products with social media platforms, enterprise systems, external APIs, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, handling authentication, data synchronization, and failures reliably.
- Shape technical architecture: Make thoughtful decisions about application structure, data models, performance, and scalability, balancing delivery needs with long-term maintainability.
- Raise engineering quality: Write clean, well-tested code, lead constructive code reviews, mentor developers, and improve engineering practices.
