This position is designed for a technical builder who excels in a high-code environment and is passionate about organizational enablement. You will manage the core technical infrastructure required for secure and reliable AI operations while simultaneously spearheading the integration and adoption of these advanced capabilities throughout the Measurement Science organization.

Job Responsibility:

  • Build production AI applications end to end that solve concrete measurement problems for our partner teams, taking systems from idea to launch
  • Design and implement AI agents and agentic workflows using frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, or MCP
  • Develop RAG systems including vector store implementation, embedding strategy, retrieval logic, and context management
  • Apply foundation models and LLMs through prompt engineering, orchestration, and lightweight fine-tuning where needed
  • Architect AI-specific data access patterns and APIs that allow agents to query data safely
  • Build AI-powered internal tools, conversational interfaces, and Slack apps that drive adoption across the org
  • Establish AI safety and reliability practices including guardrails, evaluation, fallback logic, and PII protections
  • Build evaluation infrastructure to measure AI output quality, catch regressions, and continuously improve performance
  • Champion engineering excellence across testing, observability, and incident response for AI systems
  • Partner with cross-functional leadership to spot high impact AI opportunities and translate business problems into AI solutions
  • Drive adoption through documentation, partnership with end users, and ongoing iteration based on feedback
  • Set technical direction for AI across our team by establishing patterns and reusable components other engineers can build on

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of hands-on engineering experience, with meaningful time spent building AI or automation systems
  • Track record of shipping production AI or automation applications that drove measurable business impact
  • Advanced Python and SQL proficiency for working with data at scale
  • Production experience integrating LLMs into real applications, including prompt engineering, retrieval, and evaluation
  • Experience designing and consuming APIs, with comfort building reliable services (FastAPI, Flask, or similar)
  • Working knowledge of at least one AI orchestration framework such as LangChain, LangGraph, or MCP
  • Familiarity with vector databases and RAG patterns
  • Solid engineering fundamentals around Git, CI/CD, testing, and event driven systems
  • Strong cross-functional communication skills and the ability to drive adoption of new tools across non technical teams

Nice to have:

  • Experience with AI evaluation tools and observability for non deterministic systems
  • Built Slack apps, conversational interfaces, or other AI-powered internal tools with strong adoption
  • Hands-on experience designing agentic systems with function calling, tool use, or multi agent orchestration
  • Production cloud experience (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Integration experience with business platforms like Salesforce, Slack, Google Workspace, or Jira
  • Background in ad tech, measurement, or analytics platforms
What we offer:
  • Bonus program
  • Equity award
  • 401(k) plan
