- Partner closely with product management, design, and other engineering teams to build intuitive, scalable, and extensible solutions that drive user & business growth
- Lead by example with hands-on full-stack software development to create dynamic, user-centric experiences

- Strong ability to collaborate across product, engineering, and design teams to align technical strategy with company growth objectives
- Experience with modern JavaScript frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, or VueJs/Ember)
- 10+ years of experience with server-side web technologies (e.g., Node.js, Java, Python, Scala, C#, C++, Go)
- Proven experience building and shipping end-to-end generative AI products, ideally with a significant UI/UX component
- Experience in developing deep product and business knowledge to connect abstract modeling and analysis tasks with business value
