Software Engineer
Software engineers in this role build and maintain the infrastructure and platforms that power AI and machine learning systems at scale, working across the full stack from data pipelines and model training to deployment and monitoring. They design robust systems that enable teams to train, evaluate, and deploy models and AI agents reliably, often collaborating with open-source communities and integrating with diverse ML frameworks and ecosystems. These engineers typically work within specialized teams focused on AI/ML infrastructure, developer tooling, or platform capabilities, where they balance innovation with operational excellence while mentoring junior engineers and shaping technical direction.
