The ideal candidate has experience designing and deploying production-grade AI systems that are reliable, scalable, and aligned with real-world customer needs. As an AI engineer, you will lead efforts across the entire AI ecosystem-from data strategy and model fine tuning to deployment and monitoring-while working closely with product and engineering teams. You will help define our AI roadmap, set technical direction, and build systems that are both technically robust and grounded in our product philosophy. You will also collaborate with other technical leaders to elevate the company's AI and engineering standards.

All of our positions follow an in-office schedule Monday through Friday, allowing you to collaborate directly with the team. If you're not currently based in one of these areas but love what you see, let's discuss relocation options as part of your journey to joining us.
