• Collaborate with Product to translate business problems into AI-driven solutions
• Build and maintain scalable backend services to support AI functionality
• Profile, test, and optimize performance of AI-integrated systems
• Ensure reliability, security, and cost‑efficiency of AI components in production

• Partner with engineering teams to embed AI into existing applications without degrading stability

• 3+ years of experience as a software engineer in a SaaS or cloud-based environment
• Strong backend engineering experience (RoR and/or Golang preferred)
• Experience integrating APIs and working within distributed systems
• Hands‑on experience with AI/ML tools (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Hugging Face, or similar)

• Strong understanding of data flow, system design, and performance optimization
• Experience with relational databases (SQL Server or similar)
• Familiarity with microservices architecture, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines
• Experience deploying applications in Azure or similar cloud environments
• Strong problem‑solving skills with ability to work in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
• Builder mindset—someone who can take an idea and turn it into a working feature quickly
• Pragmatic approach to AI (focus on value, not hype)
• Ability to work independently in a contract environment while collaborating closely with internal teams
• Strong communication skills and ability to explain AI concepts to non‑technical stakeholders

• Experience with prompt engineering, embeddings, or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)
• Exposure to model evaluation, fine‑tuning, or AI performance monitoring
