• Architect, develop, ship, and maintain AI-powered production systems that solve real HR problems with measurable bottom-line impact
• Drive technical decisions on AI/ML architecture, model selection, and evaluation frameworks
• Apply rigorous software engineering practices including version control, testing, CI/CD, and containerization

• What You’ll Bring
• * * 3+ years of software engineering experience with proven ability to deliver production applications both independently and in teams

• Solid understanding of evaluation and monitoring for AI systems - you know how to measure whether your AI is actually working and how to improve it

• Experience with Git Hub Actions, Docker, Kubernetes, and Postgre SQL. Ideally, you've set up CI/CD and containerized deployments from scratch
