Key Responsibilities:

• Architect and implement AI-driven services, micro-platforms, and developer tools that support GQE.

• Integrate AI capabilities into CI/CD pipelines and existing automation frameworks.
• Partner with QE, Platform, and Data Engineering to define requirements and deliver scalable solutions.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to engineering standards and best practices.
• Evaluate emerging AI technologies and propose functional applications.

Qualifications:

• 4+ years of software engineering experience with robust backend expertise.
• Proven experience building production-grade AI or ML-powered systems.
• Strong knowledge of distributed systems, microservices, and cloud platforms.
• Hands-on experience with vector databases, embeddings, and LLM orchestration.
• Experience integrating tools into CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows.
• Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Key Competencies:

• Technical leadership within a team.
• Strong architectural judgment and design skills.
• Ability to break down complex problems and deliver scalable solutions.
• Mentorship and uplift of junior engineers.

Success Metrics:

• Delivery of scalable AI tooling adopted across multiple GQE teams.
• Measurable reduction in triage time and improved automation signal quality.
• Increased developer productivity through AI-powered tools.
• Strong technical influence and mentorship impact.

Hiring Salary Range: $124,000.00 - 200,000.00. The hiring salary range for this position applies to New York, California, Colorado, Washington state, and most other geographies. Starting pay for the successful applicant depends on a variety of job-related factors, including but not limited to geographic location, market demands, experience, training, and education. The benefits available for this position include medical, dental, vision, 401(k) plan, life insurance coverage, disability benefits, tuition assistance program and PTO or, if applicable, as otherwise dictated by the appropriate Collective Bargaining Agreement.
