> Build and ship reliable GenAI and agentic features from prototype to production in regulated fintech environments. Requires 5+ years software engineering experience with prior production GenAI deployments, strong backend skills, and building evaluation/monitoring infrastructure.

## Job Description

## What you'll do
- Own AI features from ideation to prototype to production release in customer environments, and enable easy monitoring of success
- Embed closely with customer teams, understand their needs, and guide the adoption of what to build
- Codify working patterns into tools, playbooks, or building blocks that others can use
- Build evaluation and regression systems that validate model and prompt changes before release
- Design monitoring that detects output degradation within hours, not days

Shipping is the goal. The infrastructure you will help us build enables us to ship at pace in a regulated environment.

## What you'll bring
- 5+ years of software engineering experience
- Direct experience shipping GenAI or agentic systems into production and supporting them afterwards
- Write and review production-grade code across frontend and backend using Python, JavaScript, or comparable stacks
- Experience building evaluation, monitoring, or ML infrastructure, and opinions on what makes these systems work well
- Deep understanding of non-deterministic system behavior and failure modes
- Strong backend engineering skills
- Ability to operate across engineering, product, and compliance

**Nice to have**
- Fintech or regulated industry experience
- White-label SaaS platform experience

We are not looking for someone learning AI on the job. We’re looking for someone who has already seen it break and been there to fix it.

## Impact
- Accelerate the pace at which AI-powered features reach production
- Shorten model rollout cycles across the partner fleet
- Increase partner trust and adoption of AI capabilities
- Build the reliability foundation that makes speed sustainable

## Compensation
The expected annual base salary for this role is $160,000 - $254,000. Base salary is only part of your total compensation. In addition to base salary, you will receive an equity option grant, and are eligible for performance-based cash and equity bonuses. Compensation included in an offer will be commensurate with the candidate’s skills, experience and geographic location.
