• Ensure AI systems comply with GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, or related compliance requirements
• Maintain monitoring, logging, and observability for production systems
• Troubleshoot production incidents and optimize system reliability

Collaboration & Product Development

• Partner with product and data teams to define AI-powered product features
• Translate AI prototypes into scalable production systems
• Participate in sprint planning, technical discussions, and architecture decisions
• Maintain clear technical documentation and reproducible workflows

What Makes You a Great Fit

• You are both a strong software engineer and a hands-on AI builder
• You enjoy shipping AI-powered features that solve real-world business problems
• You are comfortable moving from prototype to production independently
• You think critically about scalability, performance, cost, and usability
• You stay current with rapidly evolving AI tools, frameworks, and infrastructure
• You communicate clearly and collaborate effectively across technical and non-technical teams

Required Experience & Skills

• 3+ years of software engineering experience with AI/ML exposure
• Strong proficiency in Python and JavaScript/TypeScript
• Experience with AI/ML frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow
• Experience deploying ML or LLM systems into production environments
• Strong frontend experience with React, Next.js, or Vue
• Experience building APIs and backend services
