You are curious and enthusiastic with a drive to constantly learn and acquire new knowledge.
You’ll be working in our Engineering team, specifically within the AI team, working closely with Product and other technical teams and reporting to the team lead. In a typical week you’ll be busy with the following:
- Design, develop, and maintain the core engine that powers our products, ensuring scalability, performance, and reliability.
- Write high-quality, maintainable code that is well-documented and tested.
- Collaborate with other engineers, including promiscuous pair-programming and mob programming.

- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to more junior members of the team.
