Immigration / Work Authorization Notice: At this time, iSpot does not provide visa sponsorship or immigration support for this role. Applicants must already be authorized to work in the United States on a full-time, permanent basis without the need for current or future sponsorship.

iSpot competes for the best talent. Our compensation packages consist of salary and equity in one of Seattle’s hottest start-ups, as well as other standard benefits. Most importantly, we provide a really interesting working experience, and the chance to contribute to the success of something great.

What You’ll Be Part Of:

You will be part of iSpot’s AI Team, focused on bringing AI-powered innovation to life across our Creative, Audience, and Outcomes (CAO) pillars. The team’s mission is to deeply integrate AI into every aspect of our measurement platform.

This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of data, AI, and engineering excellence—helping shape how the next generation of iSpot products are imagined, built, and deployed.

Responsibilities:
  • Collaborate with senior engineers and AI specialists to design, build, and deploy AI-driven product features and tools.
  • Develop, test, and maintain high-quality, production-grade code for data pipelines, APIs, and autonomous agent workflows.
  • Work within an AI-first development environment, using AI copilots for coding, testing, and documentation.
  • Participate in sprint planning, code reviews, and retrospectives to ensure high standards of quality and collaboration.
  • Implement continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipelines with human-in-the-loop validation.
  • Contribute to prototype and MVP development cycles, iterating quickly on ideas to validate impact.
  • Monitor performance, reliability, and scalability of AI-driven systems and services.
  • Learn and apply the team’s operating model—lean, agile, and metrics-driven (DORA, AI adoption, PR cycle time).
Qualifications and Education Requirements:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 0–2 years of experience in software engineering with strong programming skills in Java, Python, TypeScript, and/or Go.
  • Familiarity with modern development practices: Git, CI/CD pipelines, REST APIs, cloud environments (AWS preferred).
  • Understanding of basic ML/AI concepts or willingness to learn rapidly.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills with a bias for action and learning.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate in cross-functional teams.
Preferred Skills:
  • Exposure to LLM or generative AI tools (e.g., OpenAI API, LangChain, or similar).
  • Experience with data processing frameworks (Spark, Airflow) or vector databases.
  • Knowledge of containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Familiarity with frontend development (React, Next.js) is a plus.
  • Passion for automation, experimentation, and working in a fast-paced, evolving AI ecosystem.
Additional Notes:
  • This role is designed for engineers who are early in their careers but eager to grow fast in an AI-focused environment. Every engineer in this team codes and tests using AI. The expectation is to optimize for speed, quality, and learning, taking full ownership of features from concept to delivery.

This position offers a unique opportunity to help define how iSpot operationalizes AI across its platform and products, with mentorship from senior engineers and exposure to real-world AI productization at scale.
