This role is focused on delivering real products, not just prototypes. The ideal candidate is a strong end-to-end builder who can make sound architectural decisions, integrate AI capabilities into usable systems, and balance fast delivery with long-term maintainability.</p> <p class="m-0 text-md text-graphite-700 font-regular"> </p> <div class="mt-2"> <h3 class="m-0 text-lg text-black font-semibold">General Information:</h3> </div> <p class="m-0 text-md text-graphite-700 font-regular">This is a senior engineering role for someone who can own product development from architecture through deployment. The role requires strong full stack engineering fundamentals combined with hands-on experience integrating generative AI into production workflows. The right candidate understands how to build scalable backend services, intuitive frontends, and reliable AI-enabled features that serve real users. This person should bring strong product thinking, architectural judgment, and the ability to move independently from requirements to shipped solutions.</p> <p class="m-0 text-md text-graphite-700
