• Partner with product managers and customer success to deeply understand user problems and translate them into elegant, production-grade AI solutions
• Own the full lifecycle of AI features - from prompt engineering and agent design through evaluation, deployment, and monitoring
• Write well-designed, well-tested, and maintainable code; participate in code reviews to maintain quality and distribute AI/ML knowledge across the team
• Instrument and monitor agentic systems in production using observability tooling; iterate rapidly based on real user behavior and feedback
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineers, data teams, and compliance stakeholders to ensure AI outputs meet accuracy and regulatory standards

Professional Qualifications

• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 1 year building and shipping AI/LLM-powered applications in production
• Hands-on experience with AWS AI/ML services - Bedrock, Strands, AgentCore, SageMaker, or equivalent agentic frameworks
• Strong understanding of agentic patterns: tool use, RAG, memory management, multi-agent orchestration, and human-in-the-loop design
• Experience designing and evaluating LLM pipelines including prompt engineering, output validation, and hallucination mitigation
• Familiarity with AI observability, evaluation frameworks, and responsible AI practices
• Ability to work in an agile environment and communicate complex AI concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience

Personal Characteristics

• Strong coding skills in Python and/or TypeScript; comfort working across the stack as needed
• Experience with AWS cloud infrastructure, IAM, Lambda, and related services; DataDog and GitHub CI/CD a plus
• Curiosity-driven - you stay current with fast-moving AI research and tooling and bring new ideas to the team
• High ownership mentality - you care about what happens after the code ships
• Passion for building AI systems that are not just capable, but trustworthy and reliable in a compliance-sensitive environment
