In this role, you will be responsible for:
Owning AI features supported by dedicated AI infrastructure, taking problems from early ideas through design, implementation, evaluation, rollout, and production monitoring.
Develop LLM- and agent-based systems, including prompt engineering, context management (like RAG and vector databases), and agent workflows.
Refine the models that power Olivia’s multilingual conversations, focusing on better intent and entity recognition.
Improve AI performance by building tools to measure quality, monitor metrics, run tests, and quickly catch production issues.
Make model serving faster, cheaper, and more reliable using techniques like caching, batching, and fallback strategies.
Raising the technical bar by applying AI expertise and engineering experience to deliver high-quality system designs, implementation approaches, and code
Guide and support other engineers with thoughtful feedback on code and designs, helping them improve their decision-making.
Creating clear documentation that helps team members understand how systems work, make informed decisions, and work more independently
Work with product, data, and platform teams to deliver AI features that provide real value to our customers.

Our Approach to Flexible Work
With Flex Work, we’re combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role). This means you'll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote "home office" roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.
