Job description

  • Build and ship full-stack applications, services, and internal tools in Python, Java, Rust, C#, C++, or TypeScript that exercise frontier model capabilities end to end.
  • Integrate pre-release model APIs into working software, including tool interfaces, evaluation harnesses, and telemetry.
  • Diagnose and document model and integration failure modes, translating engineering observations into clear written feedback for the research team.
  • Prototype quickly against shifting requirements, delivering working increments with limited up-front specification.
  • Collaborate with the engineering manager and other engineers to maintain consistency in code quality, architecture, and technical documentation.
  • Work independently and asynchronously to meet deadlines while improving AI model performance., PS: Our team reviews applications daily. Please complete your AI interview and application steps to be considered for this opportunity.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of dedicated professional experience building and shipping production software at a recognized, top-tier organization.
  • Deep production experience in at least one of Python, Java, Rust, C#, or C++, plus demonstrated delivery in a second language across a different ecosystem.
  • Hands-on ownership across the stack: backend service and API design, a modern front-end framework (React or equivalent), data modelling, and cloud deployment and operations.
  • Demonstrated ability to onboard onto an unfamiliar codebase and deliver working code quickly with minimal ramp-up.
