The Opportunity

This is a ground-floor opportunity where product thinking matters as much as technical execution: you'll shape chat experiences with complex context management, partner with platform teams to design new APIs or leverage existing ones, and solve the reliability challenges of deploying AI in high-stakes investigative workflows. You'll collaborate closely with ML engineers on prompt engineering and agentic workflows while maintaining a strong point of view on what makes a great user experience. If you've built LLM-powered products and thrive at the intersection of customer impact and technical depth, this role is for you.

• Hands-on LLM experience: OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini APIs, prompt engineering, streaming responses, and conversation context management

• Familiarity with agentic patterns: function calling, tool use (MCP), and orchestrating multi-step workflows

• API integration skills: consume existing APIs or design new ones to ground AI in investigative data

• Database confidence: PostgreSQL and sophisticated SQL for data retrieval

• Cloud infrastructure basics: Docker, Kubernetes (Helm), AWS services (S3, SQS, API Gateway)

• Product-minded: translate user feedback into technical requirements and make pragmatic tradeoffs

• Bonus points for: LLM evaluation tools (LangSmith, Langfuse), vector search/RAG, microservices architecture, or Terraform
