Build scalable platform capabilities: Design and deliver backend services, APIs, execution orchestration, and user-facing tools that support scenario onboarding and reliable execution across applications and operating systems.
Strengthen reliability and diagnosability: Investigate issues across AI behavior, agent execution, application interactions, and cloud infrastructure.
Establish root causes and improve evaluation, observability, performance, and recovery mechanisms.
Accelerate engineering with AI: Use AI-powered coding agents throughout development and identify opportunities to integrate AI into engineering workflows.
Validate solutions for correctness, security, reliability, and measurable impact.
Own end-to-end engineering outcomes: Drive features from problem definition and technical design through implementation and production validation.
Make thoughtful trade-offs and apply strong code review, testing, documentation, and operational practices.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 2+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR equivalent experience.
