Senior Software Engineer, ML Products

What You'll Do

Design, build, and maintain scalable ML products and infrastructure using Python, Postgres, and Elasticsearch.
Lead sprints, conduct rigorous code reviews, and set the "gold standard" for engineering practices across the organization.
Actively mentor junior and mid-level engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and professional growth.
Partner closely with other engineers, product managers, data scientists, data engineers, and product engineers to ensure the successful delivery of strategic and roadmap initiatives.
Independently and with relatively little oversight, own systems throughout the software development lifecycle, from design to development, deployment and monitoring.
Maintain and improve performance of existing systems and processes while balancing maintainability, observability and readability.
Demonstrate a deep sense of ownership by developing a thorough understanding of a domain. At the same time, you must be able to explain the behavior of and contribute to code bases that may be outside your domain.
Proactively propose solutions to gaps or risks in process, technology, software design and architecture
Provide rigorous and detailed code reviews that uphold team standards, testing and software design best practices.
Foster a culture of constant improvement and growth, engineering excellence, humility, positivity and curiosity. Take a lead role in making our two days in the office productive and engaging, fostering face-to-face mentorship and collaborative whiteboarding sessions.
In partnership with other leaders, establish best practices across the organization and drive the organization’s standards within the team, leading by example.
Qualities That Enable Success in This Role:
You are a self-starter who can deliver projects independently, yet you also thrive in collaborative environments. You recognize the value of diverse perspectives in developing optimal solutions and consistently demonstrate a willingness to support colleagues as a strong team player.
You approach software engineering as a craft, balancing the pursuit of clean, maintainable code with the demands of a fast-moving, dynamic business environment. You collaborate effectively with product managers and leadership to choose development paths that minimize technical debt while ensuring the timely delivery of high-quality products. While you have a strong drive for innovation, you also recognize the critical need to stabilize and harden existing products and services.
You find genuine joy in helping others level up their skills and navigate their career paths. You view peer reviews as a powerful tool for technical mentorship and can provide feedback in a constructive manner.
You are able to translate ambiguous and amorphous ideas or problems into concrete projects or initiatives while getting buy-in from engineering, data science, data engineering or product management partners.
You believe that while remote work is functional, in-person collaboration is where the "magic" happens. You are excited to help shape the energy of our physical workspace.
You take initiative to go beyond current responsibilities and actively seek new challenges.
You are passionate about building high impact products.
