Roles & Responsibilities:

  • Own features and systems end-to-end for our Corporate Insight Agent — from requirements gathering and solution design through implementation, deployment, and iteration.
  • Serve as a subject matter expert across the stack, reporting to the Head of Corporate Applications, who will provide hands-on mentorship in AI-native development, systems design, front-end development, and cloud infrastructure.
  • Collaborate closely with Corporate Product Management and business stakeholders to identify opportunities, shape requirements, and revamp critical business processes.

What You Will Do:

  • Drive initiatives proactively — you won’t be waiting for fully written specs; you’ll help define what gets built, why it matters, and how to execute effectively.
  • Balance rapid prototyping and long-term engineering rigor, knowing when to build lightweight POCs to validate market fit versus scalable, maintainable production systems.
  • Iterate closely with users and stakeholders, incorporating feedback quickly while maintaining a strong engineering bar for quality, reliability, and observability.

Qualifications:

  • 6+ years of hands-on software development experience with a proven track record of shipping customer-facing applications.
  • Hands-on experience building production AI systems and a strong understanding of how to optimize AI agents for quality, reliability, latency, and cost.
  • Stack-flexible: comfortable working across TypeScript, Python, React, APIs, distributed systems, and cloud infrastructure.
