Job description

Engineering · San Francisco · Full-time · Senior level

How it fits the AI era

The product is itself an AI tool, so much of the work is building the systems that let language models understand a whole codebase, learn a team's habits, and even test running software. AI handles the first pass of reading code, while people decide which problems matter, shape the architecture, and judge what feedback is actually useful to customers. Talking with users and weighing tradeoffs under fast growth stays a human job.

How it builds AI experience

Someone in this role would get direct experience with practical AI engineering, such as giving models long term memory, building search over big code collections, and designing agents that try to break applications. Those problems come up in real production use with many customers, including ones that need self-hosted setups. To prepare, a candidate could build a small project that indexes a repo and answers questions about it, or an agent that checks code changes.

Worth showing

• TypeScript in production
• LLM or agent projects
• Code search or indexing
• Incident and scaling ownership
