Job description
Our team's charter is evolving from building a single product surface to delivering GenAI-first Knowledge Services-reliable, scalable platform capabilities that expose Experience League content as trusted, structured, and AI-ready knowledge for internal and external clients. We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer (P40) who will help design and build these knowledge management and GenAI services, enabling product teams to create high-quality, agentic product knowledge experiences without relying on ad-hoc ingestion or scraping approaches.
What You'll Do
- Design and build backend services and APIs that expose Experience League content as a managed knowledge platform for downstream consumers such as product knowledge agents and AI Assistant.
- Replace ad-hoc content ingestion approaches with scalable, governed knowledge access patterns suitable for agentic workflows.
- Build and operate knowledge management services, including metadata, taxonomy, and structured representations (such as knowledge graphs), to improve retrieval quality for AI agents and assistants.
- Build services that support agentic workflows, including content retrieval, enrichment, versioning, feedback loops, and quality signals used by AI agents.
- Evolve the content publishing pipeline to make Experience League content AI-ready by design, supporting structured data, tagging, and faster availability for GenAI consumers.
- Take ownership of ambiguous, cross-cutting problem spaces in knowledge and GenAI platforms, shaping solutions from early design through production adoption.
- Raise the operational bar for shared GenAI and knowledge services through automation, monitoring, and incident learning.
- Improve the scalability, reliability, and maintainability of systems that transform authored content into consumable knowledge assets.
- Apply CDN expertise to ensure globally distributed, low-latency access to knowledge content for both human and machine consumers.
- Build and operate containerized services using Docker and Kubernetes, applying cloud-native patterns for resilience, observability, and safe deployment.
- Influence adoption of shared knowledge and GenAI services by working closely with product, content, and platform teams to define clear integration patterns and success metrics.
Requirements
- 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, including hands-on experience delivering GenAI-powered services used by other teams, with exposure to agent-based or retrieval-augmented (RAG-style) workflows.
- Senior-level experience building and operating large-scale backend or platform services, with strong ownership of reliability and performance.
- Practical understanding of GenAI production concerns, including evaluation, quality, observability, safety, and cost trade-offs.
- Strong hands-on expertise with backend services and API design.
- Production experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and MongoDB Atlas, including schema design, indexing, and performance tuning.
- Ability to work across teams and influence platform adoption through clear communication and technical leadership.
Nice to Have
- Experience building knowledge management systems or content platforms used by both humans and AI.
- Experience integrating with AEM / EDS or large-scale content authoring systems.
- Experience with CDN-based optimization strategies for globally distributed content delivery.
- Familiarity with shared GenAI service models, such as service catalogs, onboarding patterns, or governance frameworks.
