Our success depends on our ability to quickly iterate on products while also ensuring that they are performant and reliable. You’ll work in a deeply iterative, collaborative, fast-paced environment to bring our technology to millions of users around the world, and ensure it’s delivered with safety and reliability in mind.
Depending on the role, you will:
Design and build the development and production platforms that power our new products, enabling reliability and security at scale
Own the development of new user-facing generative AI features and product experiences end-to-end
Partner with researchers, engineers, product managers, and designers to bring new features and research capabilities to the world
Accelerate engineering productivity by empowering your fellow engineers with excellent tooling and systems
Help create a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture that makes all feel welcome while enabling radical candor and the challenging of group think
Like all other teams, we are responsible for the reliability of the systems we build. This includes an on-call rotation to respond to critical incidents as needed
You might thrive in this role if you:
Have 5+ years of engineering experience in various tech environments, including product-driven companies.

Demonstrate humility, a collaborative spirit, and a willingness to support your colleagues to ensure team success.
Take ownership of challenges from start to finish, and are proactive in learning new skills as needed.
Build tools to accelerate your own (and your teammates’) workflows, but only when off-the-shelf solutions won’t do
Have experience in startup environments, either as a founder or an early-stage engineer
