• Collaborate with product engineers to deliver new AI-powered capabilities to end users

• Contribute to research infrastructure including evals, production monitoring, training pipelines, and more

• Solve practical engineering challenges, such as performance optimizations, data modeling, and API design

• Participate in the full development lifecycle, from ideation and design to implementation, testing, and launch.

About you

• You are pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, with plans to graduate in December 2027 or sometime in 2028
