Requirements
• 8+ years of professional work experience. • Proven experience in optimizing AI systems using both machine learning and systems techniques • Experience and passion for harnessing generative AI, particularly for agents and coding. • A deep appreciation for how to use AI to improve quality, not only to increase quantity. • A sense of taste in code and software development practice. Your approach should be opinionated and thoughtful, but not dogmatic. • Fluency in multiple programming languages, and an affinity for learning new ones. • Deep experience with concurrent programming—you should know how to use mutexes, atomics, and other concurrency primitives safely. • Experience designing APIs and writing documentation for publicly-available libraries or modules. • Strong technical communication skills—written and verbal—in English. • BS or MS in Computer Science (or a closely-related degree), or equivalent work experience writing production-grade software. • Familiarity with Temporal’s programming model (e.g. you’ve written an app on Temporal). • A track record of open source software contributions, including contributions to 3rd party libraries. • Experience contributing to the architecture and design of large-scale distributed systems. • Deep background in machine learning, model training, data science, or machine learning systems. • Graduate degree in Computer Science.
