You'll Be One of Our Top Picks If: You have the experience. 7+ years of professional software engineering experience; a Swiss army knife of engineering skill with demonstrated expertise in Python (particularly FastAPI), frontend development frameworks (ideally React and React Native) and AI orchestration. You've built and shipped applied AI products to consumers (building data pipelines, fine-tuning models, evaluating AI tools). You have a demonstrated curiosity for solving challenging and non-straightforward engineering problems; this might be reflected in a prior research engineering position, contributions to open source projects, self-directed programming projects, or something you'll surprise us with. You bring a track record of designing and building innovative prototypes from the ground up, with examples you can walk through. You have exceptional problem-solving skills and the ability to clearly communicate technical concepts to cross-functional teams. You have experience mentoring other engineers or otherwise multiplying the work of a team.
