What will you do?This is a senior, high-impact software engineering role at the intersection of AI platform development, data engineering, and full-stack product development. You will own the tooling, evaluation systems, and data platforms that make AllSpice's Generative AI team more effective. Your primary users will be internal engineers and product managers, with opportunities to build customer-facing experiences where they support our AI products.
We’re looking for someone who can identify the right problems, make thoughtful technical decisions, and take solutions from discovery through implementation, adoption, and ongoing improvement. As you build domain knowledge and establish the AI platform foundation, we’d also like you to grow into contributing directly to AllSpice’s core product alongside the product engineering team. This is an aspirational growth opportunity, not a prerequisite or the role’s initial primary focus.
You will:
Partner with engineers and product managers to discover workflow bottlenecks, prioritize the highest-impact problems, and own solutions end-to-end—from requirements and architecture to rollout and iteration.
Own the evaluation and observability layer for our AI products, including automated and human review workflows, regression detection, and comparisons across models, prompts, and pipelines. Make quality, cost, latency, usage, and customer outcomes visible and actionable.
Build usable internal applications and self-service tools that help engineers and product managers inspect AI results, investigate failures, and provide feedback. Where useful, extend these capabilities into customer-facing experiences.
Build and maintain scripts, reliable data pipelines, and integrations that connect internal systems, third-party services, LLMs, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools, with attention to data quality, schema evolution, and customer data privacy.
Write clear documentation and communicate findings to both technical and non-technical audiences, including leadership and customers.
Champion code quality, testing, and reliability across the tooling stack through reviews, mentorship, and thoughtful design.
Build an internal evaluation workspace for DRCY, our AI design review product, that captures run configurations, inputs, outputs, and telemetry; compares model and prompt changes; and tracks quality, false positives, cost, and latency over time.
Develop review workflows that let engineers and product managers inspect AI-generated findings, apply scoring rubrics, override automated scores, and investigate regressions—with opportunities to surface relevant insights and feedback workflows to customers.
Create and maintain data pipelines that aggregate evaluation results, customer feedback, and telemetry into a unified analytics layer.
Build scripting tools and automations to streamline the Gen AI team's development and testing workflows (e.g., batch evaluation runs, report generation).
Design and implement RAG-based information repositories and tooling to capture component data and domain knowledge for use by our suite of AI products.
Integrate with CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions) to surface AI insights directly in engineering workflows.
Partner with infrastructure to measure cache effectiveness, usage, and cost, and use those insights to improve the reliability and efficiency of AI workflows.
As an aspirational next step, contribute directly to core AllSpice product features—for example, integrating AI review findings and feedback into existing engineering workflows—in partnership with the product engineering team.

Proficiency in Python scripting and automation for data pipelines, integrations, and internal tools.
Experience building web applications or customer-facing tools using modern frameworks (e.g., Vue, React, TypeScript).
Practical experience shipping or maintaining LLM-enabled systems and building infrastructure around them, such as evaluation pipelines, observability, or integrations. You understand non-determinism, quality and reliability challenges, and tradeoffs across cost, latency, and model performance.
Excellent communication skills — you can translate technical findings into clear insights for engineers, product managers, and customers alike.
A customer-first mindset: you think about the end-user experience and proactively seek feedback to improve the tools you build.
Bachelor's degree or higher in a technology-related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Project management skills with the ability to lead and collaborate with varied stakeholders to move projects forward.
Comfort with ambiguity and autonomy: you independently identify problems, propose solutions, make pragmatic build-vs.-buy and architectural decisions, and bring stakeholders along in a fast-moving environment.
(Preferred) Availability to work out of our flex offices in San Francisco or Boston on a hybrid basis (2–3 times/week), but we are flexible for the right candidate.
You don't necessarily have to be proficient in all of these, but the more you know, the better:
Python, TypeScript, SQL

What We Do
What if we could design hardware with the ease and speed of software? AllSpice is building the first ever developer-led platform for collaborating on and seamlessly validating hardware designs. The world around us is enabled by novel circuit designs. Consider the seemingly trivial act of hailing a taxi from the comfort of your home. This simple process (for you) relies on a 3 million light-emitting diode display with a user interface that is logically routed to a capacitive sensor capable of tracking your finger at sub-millimeter resolution, an antenna capable of transmitting to a radio tower kilometers away at a rate of 20 Gb/s, repeated 35,000 km to a satellite, which is able to use it’s own integrated sensors and drivers to maintain geosynchronous orbit over decades without human interference. The infrastructure we've taken for granted wasn't designed overnight and isn't staying put. It's constantly evolving to enable the next generation of life-changing products. But this evolution is currently hamstrung by incumbent and proprietary development infrastructure built for waterfall project management (mostly in the 90s), requiring manual pdf exports, emails, and in-person meetings at each design revision. The next generate of human innovation, like putting the first human colonies on Mars, requires a step-change in how hardware designs are managed. At AllSpice, we've experienced this problem as hardware engineers and we've seen the solutions as software leaders. Today, AllSpice Hub is allowing electrical engineering teams to dramatically accelerate their development by enabling a truly agile workflow. They can seamlessly push a new design update in git, open a design review, tag stakeholders, notify them by email and slack, all while AllSpice automatically collects review artifacts, like visual diffs and review checklists. See it live at https://hub.allspice.io/AllSpice/Archimajor What now? This is just the tip of the iceberg. Our users are adding collaborators from firmware, software, mechanical engineering, management, and logistics begging for even more ways connect their design data to revolutionize their workflow and connect their teams.
Why Work With Us
We encourage exploration and growth in all areas of our work. We never put a pin in something we don't understand. As a team, we set priorities more often than processes. We enjoy the freedom from overbearing bureaucracy that comes with being part of a small team. We're a remote-first team, and believe amazing progress can happen from anywhere.
