AI-assisted engineering
Our engineers are expected to use AI development tools as a core part of their daily workflow, not as a novelty. We expect you to use these tools to accelerate delivery, expand your scope, and raise the quality bar, while applying strong engineering judgment to review, validate, and own everything that ships under your name. Comfort with prompting, agentic workflows, and human-in-the-loop review of AI-generated code is a baseline expectation for this role.
AI related Technology
Cursor, Claude Code
Python-based AI/ML frameworks and libraries such as scikit-learn, pandas, and numpy
Deep Learning Frameworks such as PyTorch
LLMs and Foundation Models in Bedrock, VertexAI, or similar
