• Create AI agents that can assist with incident triage, root-cause exploration, log/trace summarization, and recommended next actions.

• Create delightful developer-facing features and APIs that help engineers explore data, debug issues, and make better decisions.

• Use AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude, Copilot-like tools) as leverage to prototype, refactor, and ship high-quality code quickly.

• Own projects end-to-end: requirements, architecture, implementation, testing, rollout, and iteration based on feedback.

• Collaborate closely with partner teams (product, infra, data, SRE) to understand pain points and translate them into simple, powerful solutions.

What we look for

• This position requires either equivalent practical experience or a Bachelors degree in a related field

• 1.5+ years of experience as a software engineer

• Strong proficiency in Python, with experience architecting target="_blank">Global Candidate Privacy Notice and hereby freely and unambiguously give informed consent to the collection, processing, use, and storage of your personal information as described therein.
