A Day in the Life

You will drive the technical execution for the L’Oréal GPT and some of our Employee AI Workstation products at So Tech. Working alongside a co-lead, you are the structural anchor of the pod — the one who ensures the architecture is sound, secure, and reliably delivered.

• Take absolute ownership of technical debt, code quality, and delivery commitments.
• Step in to troubleshoot and resolve deep technical issues when the system requires it.
