Responsibilities

  • Define the architecture for the analyst AI stack across prompts, tools, metadata, memory and context strategies, evaluation, and runtime safety.
  • Build abstractions and interfaces that let product teams add agent capabilities without brittle prompt sprawl.
  • Design retrieval and context strategies balancing cost, latency, and quality.
  • Establish evaluation loops, benchmark suites, and review processes to measure, debug, and improve model behavior.
  • Partner with product, engineering, and analyst-domain experts to translate analytical workflows into AI-assisted product capabilities.
  • Drive quality standards for correctness, trust, transparency, and failure handling in analyst-facing AI experiences.

Requirements

  • Deep experience building AI-enabled product systems rather than only running experiments.
  • Strong software architecture skills involving APIs, contracts, orchestration, and system boundaries.
  • Practical understanding of LLM prompting, tool use, retrieval, structured outputs, and evaluation methods.
  • Ability to work across backend engineering, product constraints, and user workflow design.
  • Sound judgment about where agent systems should be flexible versus constrained.
  • Comfort working in ambiguous environments where patterns are still being invented.

Benefits

  • Full-time hybrid position based in Oakland, California, with two days in the office each week.
  • 100% employer-paid medical insurance, subject to country and worker-type variations.
  • Generous paid time off, paid sick time, inclusive parental leave, holidays, a year-end Global Week of Rest, and volunteer days off.
  • RSU stock grants.

  • Virtual happy hours, free food, and team-building activities.
  • Monthly cell phone stipend.
