Requirements

  • Customer-facing skills including conducting discovery interviews, navigating customer stakeholder relationships, and communicating technical concepts to non-technical audiences
  • 4-8 years of experience as a Software Engineer or equivalent role at a technology company
  • Ability to write production-quality code, conduct system design, and make sound technical decisions
  • Passion for building LLM-based tools and experience building custom integrations or workflow automations
  • Systems thinking to analyze a business and translate it into data models, ontologies, and technical architecture
  • High agency and comfort with ambiguity, with a healthy disregard for the status quo
