- Contribute across adjacent Applied AI problem spaces, including extensibility workflows, developer tooling, and backend services.
- Improve contribution workflows, trust and safety checks, maintainability, and operational quality across Marketplace surfaces.
- Partner closely with product, design, and engineering teams to shape solutions that solve customer and business problems.
- Help generalize, polish, and productionize internally built apps and Applied AI contributions for long-term support.
- Own software in production by debugging issues, improving observability, strengthening reliability, and handling operational duties.
- Use AI-assisted workflows across planning, implementation, debugging, and documentation to create real delivery leverage.
What you need
- Bring roughly four to seven years of relevant software engineering experience building and maintaining production systems.
- Demonstrate strong professional experience with TypeScript and Node.js.
- Show solid experience building user-facing product surfaces in React or similar front-end frameworks.

- Experience with AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, Cloudflare, or related cloud infrastructure.
- Experience maintaining or contributing to public or shared developer tooling.
- Familiarity with AI-native product surfaces, agentic workflows, or systems connecting software to external tools and services.
