  • Engage directly with internal users across departments to understand requirements and provide technical consultation

  • Own features end-to-end, from design through deployment and operation, including on-call responsibilities

  • Drive innovation in the rapidly evolving Generative AI landscape

What You'll Need:

  • 7+ years of software engineering experience

  • Genuine passion for Generative AI technologies and applications

  • Strong proficiency in Go or any modern programming language for backend service development

  • Deep understanding of cloud-native architectures and microservices

  • Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills

Essential Qualities:

  • Self-starter mentality with proven ability to drive projects independently

  • Comfortable managing multiple competing priorities in a fast-paced environment

  • Proactive in identifying and solving technical challenges

  • Strong collaboration skills for working with diverse stakeholders

  • Ability to make technical decisions with incomplete information

  • Enthusiasm for innovating in the agentic AI space, not just implementing existing solutions

  • Willingness to explore new approaches and challenge conventional thinking

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience as a technical lead or team lead, coordinating projects and partnering with engineering management on roadmap planning

  • Understanding of vector databases and retrieval-augmented generation implementations

  • Experience building agentic workflows and autonomous agent systems
