  • Partner and embed with teams across the business, including engineering, security, and compliance, to enable products to work within unique environmental constraints.
  • Talk to users to understand their problems and design solutions.
  • Work with the research team to get feedback and iterate on models, developing solutions for public sector customers at the model and data layers.
  • Collaborate with a cross-functional team of engineers, researchers, product managers, designers, and operations to create cutting-edge products.
  • Optimize applications for speed and scale.

Requirements

  • US Citizen
  • 9+ years of relevant engineering experience at tech and product-driven companies
  • Proficiency with JavaScript, React, and other web technologies
  • Proficiency with a backend language (Python is used)
  • Some experience with underlying infrastructure primitives like Kubernetes and Terraform
  • Interest in AI/ML (direct experience not required)
