About the company
Our client is a fast-growing software company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Build and ship AI-driven automation features end to end, from backend logic through to the user-facing interface. Work directly with internal users to turn loosely defined problems into reliable, production-ready software, and help set engineering patterns for the wider team.
What you'll do
- Build and release new automated workflows powered by AI models.
- Design and refine evaluation frameworks that decide whether model output is reliable enough to release.
- Improve how the platform ingests, indexes and assembles contextual data for AI components.
- Create tools and interfaces that put AI capabilities into users' daily work.
- Establish patterns and tooling for AI-assisted development that the rest of the team can build on.
Requirements
What we're looking for
- 3+ years of software engineering experience.
- Hands-on experience running large language models in production, including evaluation and safety guardrails.
- Full-stack ability, shipping both backend logic and user-facing interfaces with a modern stack.
- Ownership of problems from start to finish, moving from an ambiguous problem to a shipped solution without a detailed spec.
- A focus on correctness and reliability as well as functionality.
- Experience at an early-stage or high-growth startup; Big Tech experience is best paired with startup experience.
- Enthusiasm for an early-stage startup environment.
- A degree in computer science or a closely related technical discipline.
- Living within commuting distance of the Bay Area and comfortable being on site three midweek days each week; relocation support is not offered.
Bonus points
- Background in a regulated domain.
