Job Description

We are looking for a curious self-starter who loves building new products in an iterative and fast moving environment. In this role, you will build software from the ground up to solve critical bottlenecks internally. This is a highly cross functional role and you’ll interface with leaders and collaborate with your customers regularly. If you’re the type of person who loves automating away manual tasks and get a deep sense of fulfilment from seeing others succeed, then read on as this role might be perfect for you.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own the full product development lifecycle for new internal infrastructure and product experiences end-to-end.
• Talk to internal stakeholders to understand their problems and design solutions to address them.
• Collaborate with a cross-functional team of engineers, product managers, designers, and operations folks to create cutting-edge products.
• Leverage LLMs and other ML/AI products to develop new and exciting products that push the limits on how we work together and get things done.
• Build APIs, stand up infrastructure, design UIs, and build Discord bots that integrate with third party products.

You Will Thrive In This Role If

• Proficiency with JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and other web technologies.
• Proficiency with some backend language (we mostly use Python)
• Some experience with relational databases like Sqlite, Postgres, and BigQuery
• Interest in AI, ML, and LLMs
• Experience using cloud technologies and services in GCP or AWS
• Relevant engineering experience at tech and product-driven companies
• Ability to move fast in an environment where things can be loosely defined and you may have competing priorities or deadlines

Bonus Points

• Direct experience with ML/AI technologies
• An attention to detail and an eye for elegant UI design
• Experience building Discord bots or other chat based applications
