Job Summary

AI Talent Now Job # ZR 83


At this exciting AI company we are reshaping the way engineering organizations operate with an engineering intelligence platform that provides visibility and context across the organizations software delivery systems. This deep operational context supports engineering leaders today and is increasingly essential as AI agents begin to operate within real software delivery environments. We are laying the foundation for how humans and AI will build software together in the years ahead.

About the Role

Join our AI team to build Lighthouse AI - the intelligence engine that helps engineering leaders understand why their teams perform the way they do and improve performance in an age where AI is redefining the engineering craft. Youll work on natural language interfaces causal analysis models and ML-driven insights that impact how thousands of engineers work at companies like Autodesk Discord and Vimeo.


Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with product data and engineering teams to define design and integrate AI features seamlessly into the user experience.

  • Build and maintain scalable ML pipelines and infrastructure balancing speed flexibility security and scalability.

  • Build and optimize LLM-powered features including natural language query generation data summarization and data exploration tools.

  • Design and implement prompt engineering strategies evaluation frameworks and iterate on model performance.

  • Fine-tune Large Language Models (LLMs) or custom architectures for performance latency and cost-efficiency.

  • Stay up-to-date with the latest research (e.g. papers from NeurIPS ICML) and identify opportunities to apply state-of-the-art techniques to business problems.
