TL;DR · Staff Full-Stack Software Engineer, AI & App Experience

Staff Full-Stack Software Engineer, AI & App Experience joins the AI & App Experience organization to shape the future of member-facing AI by building Jade, an AI-powered financial assistant. This role involves setting technical direction for LLM integration, architecting agent systems, and developing evaluation frameworks, guardrails, and backend services like model routing and prompt management. The engineer will design and scale new capabilities from prototype to production while championing AI-native development practices. Key requirements include over eight years of experience in full-stack or backend development, proficiency in Python, and expertise in distributed systems and architectural patterns for high-scale environments. Candidates must demonstrate fluency with LLMs and generative AI tools, alongside experience with transactional databases like Postgres and caching systems like Redis. The role solves the challenge of delivering reliable, safe, and scalable conversational experiences to help members manage their finances.

What you'll do

  • Set technical direction for LLM integration including agent architectures, prompt strategies, and orchestration patterns.
  • Design, build, and scale member-facing capabilities for the AI-powered financial assistant from prototype to production.
  • Build evaluation frameworks, observability tools, and guardrail systems to ensure safe and reliable LLM features.
  • Develop backend services and internal tooling for model routing, prompt management, and automated evaluation pipelines.
  • Establish AI-native development practices and quality gates to improve team productivity and output reliability.
  • Determine appropriate levels of model autonomy versus human judgment based on the risk and stakes of specific tasks.
  • Drive experimentation through A/B testing and data analysis to inform product decisions.
  • Mentor engineers and conduct code reviews to maintain high technical standards across the codebase.

What we're looking for

  • Must have 8+ years of backend or full-stack software development experience in production environments.
  • Must possess deep expertise in system design, distributed systems, and architectural patterns for high-scale systems.
  • Must be proficient in Python or comparable frameworks to make sound decisions across the stack.
  • Must demonstrate AI-native fluency by actively using LLMs, AI code assistants, and generative AI tools daily.
  • Must have hands-on experience building and shipping LLM-powered product features like agents, evals, and guardrails at scale.
  • Must have a track record of mentoring engineers and providing technical leadership across teams.
  • Must have experience with transactional databases (e.g., Postgres) and caching systems (e.g., Redis).
  • Experience in fintech or startup environments is preferred.
