• Drive technical decisions on AI/ML architecture, model selection, and evaluation frameworks
• Apply rigorous software engineering practices including version control, testing, CI/CD, and containerization
• Mentor junior engineers and interns, and drive improvements for AI/ML development across the team

Job Requirements

• 5+ years of software engineering experience with proven ability to deliver production applications both independently and in teams

• Experience with GitHub Actions, Docker, Kubernetes, and PostgreSQL. Ideally, you've set up CI/CD and containerized deployments from scratch
• Self-directed and high-agency - you drive projects forward, own outcomes end-to-end, and don't wait for direction
