About this Role
You'll own the AI layer of the product, the models, the pipelines, and the evals that decide whether what we ship works for merchants. This is not a research seat. You'll be in production code, shipping to real customers, and you'll be the person the rest of the team asks when something model-shaped breaks.
You're one of the first engineers here, so the architecture decisions you make in month one are the ones we live with for years.
What you'll do
- Own the end-to-end AI systems: prompting, retrieval, tool use, agent orchestration, fine-tuning where it earns its keep
- Build the eval harness before the feature, we don't ship model changes on vibes
- Get latency and cost to numbers that work at merchant scale, not demo scale
- Take an ambiguous product problem and decide whether it's a model problem, a data problem, or a UX problem, then fix it
- Ship to production weekly and watch what happens in the wild
