This role is for the engineer who sees AI as a collaborator. You will leverage generative AI to build features, use prompt engineering to solve complex problems, and accelerate your development with AI coding assistants. We enjoy quarterly "weeks of creativity" where you can bring your most ambitious AI-powered ideas to life. If you wish to join a talented, passionate team whose kindness and authenticity will help you grow at the forefront of technology, apply so we can start our conversation today!

In This Role, You Will

• Develop AI-First Features: Architect and build intelligent features from concept to production, leveraging generative AI to create novel user experiences within our Ruby on Rails web application.
• Master Prompt Engineering: Craft, test, and manage a repository of effective prompts for various tasks, including data synthesis from our vast dataset, content generation, and workflow automation.
• Champion AI-Augmented Development: Lead by example in using AI coding assistants as a core part of the development cycle. Establish and share best practices to boost team productivity and code quality.
• Integrate and Innovate: Implement both backend logic (Ruby on Rails) and intelligent frontend interactions (JavaScript, Hotwire), evaluating and integrating third-party and open-source AI models to solve real-world customer problems.
• Leverage Data for AI: Utilize our extensive dataset to inform and prepare data for AI-driven insights. Apply advanced database skills (SQL in PostgreSQL) to power our intelligent systems.
• Collaborate on AI Strategy: Work in close coordination with designers, product managers, and data scientists to rapidly prototype, validate, and ship AI-powered features.
• Ensure Quality & Performance: Write comprehensive tests (unit, integration, functional) for AI-driven features, ensuring they are not only intelligent but also reliable, performant, and scalable.
