Staff Software Engineer, AI Foundations

Accountabilities:

• • Design and build trusted agentic coding systems that use generative AI to produce high-quality, reliable software.
  • Maintain and deepen expertise in agentic coding, emerging AI application architectures, and modern development techniques.
  • Design and implement AI SDK capabilities supporting a broad range of frameworks, libraries, and AI application patterns.
  • Take end-to-end ownership of new features, from technical design through implementation, testing, documentation, and delivery.
  • Apply strong software engineering fundamentals to ensure code is well-designed, thoroughly tested, maintainable, and highly reliable.
  • Work across multiple programming languages, including Python, TypeScript, Java, and Go, while continuing to learn and apply new technologies.
  • Serve as a technical domain expert on AI design patterns, collaborating with field teams to develop best practices, reference implementations, and canonical examples.
  • Engage directly with the developer community to troubleshoot complex issues, gather feedback, and improve APIs and developer experiences.
  • Contribute to publicly available technical documentation explaining concepts, APIs, patterns, and best practices.
  • Collaborate across teams to deliver reliable solutions that address customer needs and improve adoption.
  • Contribute to open-source projects and third-party libraries, working transparently through public pull requests and technical discussions.
  • Occasionally support customer or community issues requiring deep engineering expertise.
  • Participate in periodic team travel and, where desired, represent the organization at developer conferences and technical events.

  Requirements

  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, or equivalent demonstrated experience building production-grade software.
  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Science or a closely related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
  • Demonstrated experience and enthusiasm for generative AI, particularly AI agents, agentic workflows, and AI-assisted coding.
  • A strong understanding of how to use AI to improve software quality, reliability, and engineering effectiveness—not simply development speed.
  • Deep experience with concurrent programming and safe use of concurrency primitives such as mutexes and atomics.
  • Fluency in multiple programming languages and demonstrated ability and enthusiasm for learning new languages and technologies.
  • Experience designing APIs and producing documentation for publicly available libraries, modules, or developer-facing systems.
  • A strong track record of open-source contributions, including work on third-party libraries or projects.
  • Experience with distributed systems and a strong foundation in software architecture and systems design.
  • Strong technical judgment and a thoughtful, opinionated approach to code and engineering practices without being dogmatic.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly.
  • Ability to work effectively in a remote, primarily asynchronous environment with a high degree of autonomy.
  • Nice-to-have experience includes building AI agents or AI applications, machine learning or ML systems, model training, large-scale distributed systems, or familiarity with durable execution and workflow-based programming models.
  • A graduate degree in Computer Science is also advantageous.
