## About the Role

* 2+ years in engineering or DevOps roles, you know how software gets built, tested, and shipped
 * Well versed in multiple programming languages including TypeScript, Java, and Python
 * Hands-on experience with Terraform, GitHub flows/actions, and CI/CD pipelines, and an instinct for where AI can accelerate them
 * Knowledge of AWS
 * Already building with AI, whether it's frontier models like Claude, Kimi, or Gemini, agentic coding tools, or something you hacked together last weekend
 * Comfortable working across teams that don't speak your language (product, data, design, sales, ops), and translating their pain into working tools
 * A tinkerer's obsession; Show us what you've built
 * Bias for shipping over perfecting: you'd rather demo a rough v1 in an hour than a polished v3 next week

## Description

* Work closely with every function (product, engineering, data, design, operations, sales, and product marketing) to discover pain points and translate them into AI-enabled solutions
 * Experiment with and implement AI-assisted developer tooling, leveraging Claude Code for agentic coding workflows and AI-enhanced CI/CD pipelines that help engineering teams ship faster with higher confidence
 * Leverage frontier models (Claude, Gemini, Kimi, GPT) as core engineering tools, evaluating new model releases for coding, reasoning, and agentic capabilities, and integrating the best-fit models into team workflows as they evolve
 * Build and evolve our AI-augmented testing pipeline: from product spec use cases through test cases, test data, unit tests, and end-to-end Playwright automation, all generated via Claude Code, plus large-scale codebase improvement and refactoring through AST-based tooling (Java/Spoon, TypeScript/OXC, Flutter Dart Analyzer)
 * Evaluate and deploy AI-powered design tools, such as Figma, Pencil, Stitch, Veo, Nano Banana
 * Integrate AI-native intelligence platforms into go-to-market, operations, customer success, and support workflows
 * Stay on the leading edge of the AI tool landscape: continuously scouting, testing, and benchmarking new tools as they emerge weekly
 * Create internal tools and interfaces (chat-based assistants, dashboards, browser extensions, Slack integrations) that make AI capabilities accessible to non-technical stakeholders
 * Establish best practices for agentic engineering, model evaluation, cost management, security, and responsible AI use across the organization
 * Instrument and monitor AI-powered systems for reliability, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness
