## Description

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Handshake AI Enterprise team, you'll own the product experience layer of AI applications we deploy directly into enterprise customer environments. You'll work closely with customers to deeply understand their workflows, translate ambiguous needs into crisp product decisions, and build end-to-end solutions that are genuinely delightful to use, not just functional.

This is not a role for engineers who treat product quality as an afterthought. We believe engineering craft is a meaningful part of what makes AI applications succeed in enterprise environments, and you'll be the person who holds that bar across every deployment.

This is a unique opportunity to pair direct customer impact with founding-team ownership, helping define what high-craft enterprise AI product looks like from the ground up., * Work directly with customers to understand their workflows, pain points, and what "great" looks like in their context

 * Translate ambiguous customer needs into clear, well-crafted product and technical decisions
 * Build high-quality, full-stack features, from data models and APIs to the interfaces people actually use
 * Collaborate closely with Applied AI and Platform engineers on your deployment team to ship cohesive, production-grade solutions
 * Iterate rapidly based on real usage and customer feedback, with tight feedback loops
 * Establish product engineering standards and reusable patterns that help the team scale quality as we grow
 * Surface insights from customer deployments that inform Handshake's core product direction
