You'll make the technical decisions for that area, work with our Applied AI engineers on the agents and model systems behind it, and help earlier-career engineers do their best work. This is not a role for engineers who want to stay specialists in one language or one layer, for example, Java-only or Go-only. The work spans the whole stack and changes from week to week. Responsibilities: Product areas: own one or more areas end to end, from technical design to performance and reliability in production. Customer problems: work with customers and customer-facing teams to decide what to build, and check after launch that it worked. AI features as systems: build retrieval, tool use and agents where they fit, plus monitoring and fallbacks for when the model gets it wrong. Evals: define evals for open-ended problems and scenarios, and use them to decide when a prompt, model or agent change is ready to ship. Scope and trade-offs: shape scope with product and design, push back when a simpler version would reach customers sooner, and choose when
