Job description

About RWS

RWS is a global leader in content, translation, and intellectual property services. With more than 60 years of experience, RWS helps the world’s top brands grow by ensuring they are understood anywhere, in any language. The company combines proprietary technology with deep human expertise to deliver high-quality, compliant, and scalable solutions across industries such as life sciences, technology, finance, and legal.

About Train AI

Training or fine‑tuning artificial intelligence (AI) requires data. LOTS of data. However, not just any data will do – our clients need responsible AI data that’s targeted, accurate and reliable to ensure machine learning (ML) success. But preparing AI training data is a monumental task that can take up the vast majority of AI project time, leaving AI teams with precious little time to focus on developing, deploying and evaluating ML models. TrainAI by RWS helps our clients address this challenge head‑on.

With a seamless blend of technological understanding and human intelligence, TrainAI provides complete, end‑to‑end data collection and content generation, data annotation or labelling, human‑in‑the‑loop data validation, and generative AI data services for all types of AI, in any language, at any scale, based on the principles of responsible AI. Today, TrainAI supports four of the world’s top five technology companies, enhancing the performance of their generative AI by providing services such as prompt engineering, response refinement and red teaming with locale‑specific domain experts across a broad range of topic areas and educational levels.

Job Purpose

We’re looking for a senior product focused engineer to join our team.

Job Overview

Responsibilities

• Own products end-to-end: define the problem, shape the solution, ship it, and drive iteration based on real user behavior
• Use AI coding agents and agentic workflows as your primary means of execution—and establish patterns others on the team adopt
• Make design, UX, product, and architectural calls with minimal guidance, and defend the trade‑offs
• Talk directly to users, translate insights into shipped features, and decide what's worth building
• Build the feedback loops—analytics, evals, monitoring—that determine whether the product is succeeding
• Mentor other engineers on product thinking and effective AI‑driven development
• Influence the team's technical direction and how it adopts AI tooling

Requirements

• 6+ years of engineering experience, including shipping products with significant autonomy
• Deep fluency with AI development tools and agentic workflows, or a demonstrated ability to master new tooling fast and teach it
• Strong product sense: you consistently make good calls about what to build and why
• Comfort operating with full ownership and ambiguity—you set the plan rather than wait for one
• Ability to work fluently across the entire stack and across disciplines (engineering, design, data, product)
• Track record of driving outcomes, not just output

Nice to have

• Founder, founding‑engineer, or solo‑builder experience
• Background spanning multiple roles (engineer + designer, or engineer + PM)
• Experience building AI‑powered products (prompt engineering, evals, agent design)

Why is this role different?

• You won't be handed tickets—you'll be handed problems, and the leverage of AI to solve them across the whole lifecycle. You'll set the standard for how a small, AI‑native team ships great products.
