• Model & Systems Engineering: Improving model integration, latency, cost, and infrastructure.
• Evaluation & Quality: Creating frameworks and human-in-the-loop testing to improve model performance.

What You’ll Achieve

• Partner with your team to prototype and ship AI-powered product improvements.
• Own scoped productionization projects, including monitoring and guardrails.
• Contribute to evaluation sets, run experiments, and translate data into system changes.

Skills You'll Need

• Less than two years of professional engineering experience.
• Solid fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and distributed systems.
• Experience building and prototyping (coursework, projects, internships, or hackathons).
• Familiarity with relational databases (Postgres or MySQL) and full-stack concepts.
• Ability to navigate ambiguity and decompose complex problems into clean solutions.
• A pragmatic, impact-driven approach to technology.
• Proactive communication and high agency.

Nice to Haves
