About this role
What you'll do
You'll design and ship AI systems and automation workflows that solve real business problems. You know when to reach for an LLM and when a simple rule or lookup table does the job better — and you build accordingly.
Experience with data engineering is a meaningful plus: DAGs, ETL pipelines, and agent workflows share the same core challenges around reliability, observability, and failure handling.
