Software Engineer, Applied AI

Role Overview

• Build AI-first features end-to-end: You’ll contribute to the design, deployment, and iteration of our next-generation benefits platform features that leverage personalization, experimentation, and AI/ML methods (e.g. agents/LLMs, recommender systems, reinforcement learning) to enhance user experience in a meaningful business domain.
• Contribute across the tech stack: You’ll work in React (JavaScript/TypeScript) on the frontend and Python (FastAPI, SQLAlchemy) on the backend, shipping production-ready code and user-facing features in addition to innovative ML work.
• Live on the cutting edge of AI tooling: You’ll help push the boundary of what’s feasible with modern AI-powered software development tools (Cursor, Windsurf), keep up with the regular drumbeat of AI advances, and find new and exciting ways to build and explore new features faster.
• Participate in a fast-paced iterative environment: Collaborate closely with design, product, and beyond to deliver and iterate on impressive features and prototypes at world-class pace.
• Keep code clean and well-tested: Maintain clean, efficient, and tested code with clear documentation for both peers and future reference.
• Review, refine, and grow: Actively participate in peer reviews, CI/CD processes, and a growth-minded engineering culture, where you continuously seek to level up your technical skills.
• Be a team player: Sometimes you’ll be iterating on ML pipelines; other times you’ll be refining a frontend component or fixing a tricky bug. We need someone who’s excited about the full product journey and moving together as one.
