Software Engineer (Apps)

Software Engineer (Apps)Build the AI-powered tools that WD's engineers actually use every day. You'll own full-stack features end-to-end — from UI to database to AI/ML components — and your work will directly shape how next-gen storage devices are designed, tested, and manufactured.What you'll build:AI features and automation workflows embedded in production engineering appsRAG-based pipelines and LLM integrations across tools like ADAM, WDFA, LIMS, and DRVMNew tooling for monitoring HDD product telemetry data in real timeReusable AI/ML patterns deployable across the full DRI Tools portfolioFull-stack components spanning UI, REST APIs, backend services, and data layersTech Stack:Language: Python. AI/ML: LLMs, RAG Pipeline, Llama.cpp, Hugging Face, text embeddings, AI Harness (eg Claude Code) Front End: Web Apps: React, Tailwind CC, Vite APIs: REST API design & development Data: SQL/MySQL, data pipelines, file I/O, text parsing Devops: Git/Bitbucket, CI/CD, JIRA, Agile/Scrum Platforms: Linux, Mac, WindowsEssential Duties & Responsibilities:Design, develop, test, and ship software tools — web, desktop, and CLI — in a large-scale enterprise engineering environmentOwn features from requirements ? code ? deploymentEvaluate and integrate LLMs and embedding models into existing applicationsBuild and expand automation and telemetry monitoring platformsWrite clean, well-tested, maintainable Python code aligned to team standardsCollaborate directly with HDD R&D and product engineering stakeholders to scope and ship solutions that reduce manual effortStay current on open-source AI tooling and emerging frameworksThis role is part of WD's early career development program. WD's early career development program is ideal for individuals at the early stages of their professional career. Participants receive foundational training through structured onboarding, mentorship, and a curated development curriculum. The responsibilities of this role are typically aligned with candidates who have approximately 0–2+ years of relevant professional experience, though candidates of all experience levels are encouraged to apply.Qualifications:Required:Currently pursuing a BS degree in Computer Science or a related field.Right to work in the US without requiring WD to commence or sponsor an immigration case in order to employ you at any point in the future is required.Proficiency in Python (full-stack development)Experience with REST API design and developmentFamiliarity with SQL/MySQL and data pipeline developmentUnderstanding of AI/ML concepts — LLMs, embeddings, or RAG architecturesExperience with version control and CI/CD workflows (Git/Bitbucket)Ability to work across the full stack: UI, API layer, database, and AI/ML componentsNice to have:Hands-on experience with AI frameworks and HarnessesPrior exposure to engineering or manufacturing software environmentsExperience with Agile/Scrum development practicesFamiliarity with telemetry data monitoring or failure analysis tooling
