- Remote
What you'll do
- Develop new features across the client (React/TypeScript), APIs (Python/GraphQL) and database, and own them from design through on-call.
- Work with design and key customers to shape intuitive experiences, including how to visualize experiment results so users with minimal statistical training draw good conclusions.
- Build AI-enabled workflows for our users, such as agent tools and skills that help create, validate and analyze experiments, and the interface around them, with evaluations that keep quality high.
- Use AI-assisted development to move faster, and help the team set good practice for it.
- Work with data science partners to bring new methodology into the product.
- Participate in experiment reviews to understand how customers use the platform and where it falls short.
What we're looking for
- 5+ years in a hands-on software engineering role, shipping high-quality code to production, including full-stack web applications on a modern stack.
- Strong front-end skills: React and TypeScript fundamentals, state and data fetching, performance and testing, and a good eye for intuitive interfaces in data-rich or enterprise tools.
- Experience across the stack: backend APIs in Python or a similar language, GraphQL or comparable API design, and relational database storage.
- Hands-on experience with AI: you build with LLMs or agent tooling (tools, skills, evaluations), or you are fluent with AI-assisted development and know how to verify what it produces.
- Experience working directly with customers and design to turn ambiguous needs into shipped, well-designed features, with clear communication.
Nice to have
- Experience with data visualization or data-intensive applications.
- Experience with experimentation platforms.
