What does success look like?

• 60 days: Lead a cross-team AI system enhancement and establish evaluation frameworks with LangSmith for measuring AI performance and quality
• 90 days: Lead a system-level AI architecture improvement (e.g., introduce an intelligent agent microservice or refactor existing services to support advanced AI workflows), including a clear design, implementation, and rollout plan in place or executed against

Who You Are

• 8+ years building web services or full-stack applications, with 3+ years focused on AI/ML systems
• Strong hands-on experience in Ruby on Rails or TypeScript/Node backends that support AI workloads
• Solid Angular/TypeScript front-end skills for building AI-driven user experiences
