Participate in engineering best-practices and architecture discussions within your area of expertise.
Build and maintain processes and tools that support high productivity and code quality.

Requirements

Experience building and scaling a computationally hard system in production, such as optimization, routing, search, simulation, or geospatial processing.
Mission-driven mindset with interest in companies that prioritize values and mission.
User-centric approach, including talking to customers and addressing core customer needs.
Ability to use AI tools effectively in day-to-day engineering work.
