You’ll collaborate across engineering, product, and design to bring generative AI and LLM-based enhancements into the core user experience.
Responsibilities
- Architect and implement AI-powered capabilities: code generation, intelligent node creation, and workflow optimization
- Integrate LLM APIs and embedding models for text-to-workflow and natural language code suggestions
- Design and iterate on prompts to improve model output and user experience
- Build internal tooling, evaluation benchmarks, and automated testing for AI components
- Collaborate closely with other engineers to ensure AI features are reliable, performant, and scalable
- Balance experimentation with impact: ship quickly while focusing on user value
