Remote Junior Python Developer Jobs in Grand Rapids, MI

Quora’s mission is to grow and share the world’s knowledge. To do so, we have two knowledge sharing products:

• Quora: a global knowledge sharing platform with over 400M monthly unique visitors, bringing people together to share insights on various topics and providing a unique platform to learn and connect with others.
• Poe: a platform providing millions of global users with one place to chat, explore and build with a wide variety of AI language models (bots), including o3, o4-mini, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, GPT Image 1 and more. As AI capabilities rapidly advance, Poe provides a single platform to instantly integrate and utilize these new models.

Behind these products are passionate, collaborative, and high-performing global teams. We have a culture rooted in transparency, idea-sharing, and experimentation that allows us to celebrate success and grow together through meaningful work. Join us on this journey to create a positive impact and make a significant change in the world.

We’re hiring our first AI Automation Engineer to lead how we apply AI internally across the company. This is a unique opportunity to shape how LLMs become embedded in our daily operations. Your goal will be to automate as much work as possible, increasing our productivity and improving the quality of our products, decision-making, and internal processes.

You’ll work closely with teams across the organization to identify high-impact problems and solve them, continually assessing new potential as frontier model capabilities constantly improve. With access to a wide range of state-of-the-art models via Poe, and an organization focused on AI, you’ll be well placed to experiment, iterate quickly, and launch internal services.

This role is ideal for an engineer who’s curious, pragmatic, and motivated by real-world impact - not just research or prototypes. You’ll lay the groundwork for how we approach internal AI applications, with a focus on utility, trust, and constant adaptation.

• Develop and maintain internal tools and systems that automate existing work and increase employee productivity using AI
• Use AI as much as possible to automate your own process of creating this software
• Collaborate with teams across the business to understand pain points and identify high-impact automation or process improvement opportunities
• Rapidly prototype small AI-enabled utilities or automations and deploy them into production swiftly
• Supervise the choices AI is making in areas like architecture, libraries, or technologies, and be ready to debug complex systems across frontend and backend services when AI cannot
• Act as a high-trust owner of systems that may handle sensitive data or business-critical logic
• Work cross-functionally to ensure tools are adopted and deliver obvious value
• Stay updated on the latest models and tools, and apply that knowledge to your work

• Availability for meetings and impromptu communication during Quora's “coordination hours" (Mon-Fri: 9am-3pm Pacific Time)
• Experience creating LLM-backed tools involving prompt engineering and automated evals
• 5+ years of experience in full-stack development with strong skills in Python, React and JavaScript
• Excellent debugging skills and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
• High level of ownership and accountability, especially with sensitive or business-critical data
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, sometimes ambiguous environment with shifting priorities
• Experience working cross-functionally with teams outside of product development
• A natural collaborator who enjoys being a partner and creating utility for others
