Job description

Our mission at Durable is to make owning a business easier than having a job.

Durable builds AI that does the work for you. Our goal is to own the DIFY (Do It For You) small business category.

What is DIFY? It is a new category of technology that is faster and more cost effective than a human, and much easier to use than software. It is an AI first approach to solving customer problems.

You don't need to learn new software. You don't need to read help docs. You don't need to learn how to prompt. You provide business context and feedback, and the work is done for you.

We believe in a world where everyone is a business owner. Whether it's a full-time, part-time, or side hustle - we want to make it frictionless to start and operate a business. Since launching in late 2022, over 5 million websites have been built with our AI powered website builder. We are generating significant revenue, well-funded by Silicon Valley investors, and growing extremely fast.

Our vision is much bigger, and we're looking for incredible people to join our team and make an impact.

What You'll Do :

You will lead the architecture and implementation of our AI infrastructure powering the next generation of autonomous agents. You'll make strategic decisions about our AI stack, own our prompt management system, and build evaluation frameworks that ensure we can scale our AI capabilities while maintaining high quality and reliability.

Key Responsibilities :

• Architect production AI systems using Sonnet-3.5, GPT-4o, and others
• Design and implement robust prompt management in Braintrust
• Develop comprehensive evaluation frameworks for AI quality in Braintrust
• Lead AI infrastructure decisions and vendor selections
• Establish best practices for prompt engineering and versioning
• Build agent orchestration and monitoring systems
• Set technical direction for AI capabilities
• Mentor team members on AI engineering practices
• Drive continuous improvement through data-driven evaluation

Qualifications :

• Extensive experience building production LLM applications
• Deep expertise with modern AI models and infrastructures
• Strong track record of shipping reliable AI systems
• Experience with prompt engineering at scale
• History of making successful AI architecture decisions
• Proven ability to mentor and grow AI engineering capabilities
• 7+ years of relevant software engineering experience

Why Join Us?

At Durable, we're committed to creating an environment where you can thrive. Here's what you can look forward to :

• Hybrid Flexibility & Gastown HQ : Our well-stocked Vancouver office offers stunning views of the North Shore, and while we value in-person collaboration, you're free to work from home when you need to. Thursdays are our in-office anchor day.
• Comprehensive Benefits : Health and dental coverage to support your well-being.
• Home Office Stipend : Receive a stipend to create a comfortable and productive workspace.
• Professional Development : We support your growth with opportunities like conferences, courses, and speaking engagements.
• Team Events : Connect with your colleagues through retreats and team-building activities.
