  • Design, implement, and evaluate high-impact workflows (prompts, memory/knowledge patterns, coaching flows).
  • Balance bespoke vs. reusable architectures, and build the tooling and evaluation muscle that helps us scale enterprise AI deployments.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, AI Research/Applied AI, and Engineering, ensuring our most advanced enterprise AI systems are safe, performant, and aligned with user outcomes.

Requirements

  • 5+ years in solutions engineering, forward-deployed engineering, or consulting engineering, ideally with enterprise-facing experience. Open to less years for exceptional builders who ship and learn fast.

  • Systems & judgment: track record of deciding what should be bespoke vs. reusable, designing for modularity without over-engineering.
  • Enterprise craft: stakeholder management, discovery, and communication. You know when to push back and when to ship.
  • Quality mindset: you hold the line on accuracy, safety, and performance while maintaining pragmatism.
  • Growth mindset: Growth mindset focused on continuous skill development in rapidly evolving AI landscape
  • Startup DNA: Startup experience preferred with proven comfort navigating ambiguity and high-velocity execution.

  • Retirement plan support for US and global employees
  • Meaningful ownership in a venture-backed company at a growth inflection point
