## Description

You'll work across the stack, from backend APIs and orchestration to SDKs, dashboards, and developer tools. You'll take ownership from start to finish, understanding user needs, designing elegant solutions, and delivering outcomes that make building with AI faster, simpler, and more creative.
You'll collaborate across the company to build systems that are robust, performant, and a joy to work on. This role combines technical depth, product intuition, and leadership, making it ideal for engineers who want to shape both how things are built and why they matter.
Is this role a fit for you?
You are motivated by impact. You thrive on transforming complex AI systems into products that developers love to use. You think holistically about architecture, user experience, and business outcomes, and you take pride in delivering systems that are both elegant and dependable.
You are equally comfortable designing APIs, building scalable backend services, and improving developer-facing experiences. You set a high bar for quality, mentor others to reach it, and drive alignment between product ambition and technical reality.
