Lead Software Engineer, Generative AI

Role Overview

We’re building production GenAI features and looking for a staff software developer with strong engineering skills and a passion for building scalable AI systems. You’ll contribute to the design and delivery of GenAI features, collaborate closely with technical leads and senior stakeholders, and play a key role in maintaining technical quality and scalability across a feature area.

Own AI-enabled components end-to-end and deliver measurable improvements in quality and reliability. You operate independently, drive design decisions within your area, and help set strong engineering standards through reviews and mentorship.

What you’ll do

• Own delivery for significant features or systems: clarify requirements, design the solution, execute, ship, and iterate.
• Build and maintain reliable services and workflows that support AI features in production.
• Define how quality is measured for your area (success metrics, test strategy, evaluation approach) and automate it wherever possible.
• Run structured experiments, interpret results, and translate learnings into product improvements.
• Improve operational readiness: deployment automation, monitoring/alerting, incident follow-up, and performance/cost optimizations.
• Mentor teammates through design feedback, code reviews, and practical guidance.

GenAI expectations

• Solid working knowledge of how modern AI applications are built and evaluated (you may not be a specialist, but you understand the core concepts and trade-offs).
• Strong learning speed: can evaluate new models/tools, assess feasibility, and recommend a path forward based on evidence and ROI.
• Builds solutions that are safe and compliant by design (privacy, data handling, safeguards), partnering with cross-functional teams.
