- Execute the technical roadmap: Help define and deliver on the internal AI-platform roadmap, adapting to shifting priorities while ensuring short-term operational targets are met.
- Build foundational AI infrastructure: Oversee the development of tools that enable SoFi engineers to work more productively, including custom harness wrappers, auto-routing capabilities, and programmatic evaluations.
- Partner with stakeholders: Work directly with internal developer customers and cross-functional engineering teams to distill complex requirements, obtain buy-in, and drive platform adoption.
What you’ll need:
- Education & Minimum Experience Requirements: Bachelor’s Degree + 4+ Years of Experience OR Master’s Degree + 3+ Years of Experience in software engineering, computer science, or a related field.
- Proven experience with AI-powered developer-tooling and related technical architectures.
