If you thrive in a collaborative environment where you can own your work and contribute to the bigger picture, we’d love to have you join our team.

This position is hybrid with 2-3 days expected in our Stamford, CT office. Remote work is available for highly qualified candidates.

• Integrate and optimize AI-powered tools to enhance user experience and streamline user workflows.
• Act as a technical resource for the team, enhancing our AI infrastructure, and sharing knowledge.
• Contribute to high-level discussions on product direction, user experience, and feature prioritization.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with other teams to align engineering efforts with Kibu’s mission and goals.

Key Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree.
• At least 4 years of experience in software engineering.
• 4+ years of experience in React and TypeScript, with a deep understanding of modern web development practices.
• 3+ years of experience with NextJs or other serverless infrastructure.
• Familiarity with developing production ready AI features using LLMs, LangChain, and vector stores.
• Proven ability to quickly learn and adapt to new codebases, frameworks, and tools.
• Strong problem-solving skills and a proactive approach to improving product quality and user experience.
• Excited to work in a small team, own projects, and help Kibu grow.

Preferred Qualifications
