About the Role

We're building production GenAI features and looking for a Staff Software Engineer with strong engineering skills and a passion for building scalable AI systems. You'll contribute to the design and delivery of GenAI features, collaborate closely with technical leads and senior stakeholders, and play a key role in maintaining technical quality and scalability across a feature area.

You will own AI-enabled components end-to-end and deliver measurable improvements in quality and reliability. You operate independently, drive design decisions within your area, and help set strong engineering standards through reviews and mentorship.

Responsibilities

• Own delivery for significant features or systems: clarify requirements, design the solution, execute, ship, and iterate
• Build and maintain reliable services and workflows that support AI features in production
• Define how quality is measured for your area (success metrics, test strategy, evaluation approach) and automate it wherever possible
• Run structured experiments, interpret results, and translate learnings into product improvements
• Improve operational readiness: deployment automation, monitoring/alerting, incident follow-up, and performance/cost optimizations
• Mentor teammates through design feedback, code reviews, and practical guidance

GenAI Expectations

• Solid working knowledge of how modern AI applications are built and evaluated (understanding of core concepts and trade-offs, not necessarily specialist knowledge)
• Strong learning speed: can evaluate new models/tools, assess feasibility, and recommend a path forward based on evidence and ROI
• Builds solutions that are safe and compliant by design (privacy, data handling, safeguards), partnering with Legal/Security as needed

Required Skills & Knowledge

• 6+ years in software engineering
• 3+ years building and shipping production software in product teams
• Bachelor's in computer science, Engineering, or related field
• Strong software engineering fundamentals and system design
• Hands-on coding in Python and/or TypeScript (or similar), APIs/services, data pipelines
• Cloud experience, CI/CD, automated testing, observability; engineers own quality without dedicated QA
• Experimentation mindset: define metrics, build evals, iterate quickly; willingness to learn GenAI rapidly

Nice to Have

• GenAI/LLM: prompt engineering, retrieval/RAG, function/tool-calling, evaluation pipelines, fine-tuning/LoRA, embeddings/vector search
• LLMOps: experiment tracking, prompt/version control, cost/latency optimization
• Tools: serverless AWS, LangChain/LangGraph, OpenAI/Anthropic/Azure OpenAI; vector DBs (Pinecone/FAISS/Milvus)
• External contributions (open source, blogs, talks)

How We Work

• We balance exploration with delivery: test ideas quickly, then productionize what works
• "Done" means quality goals are met; then we keep improving accuracy, cost, and performance
• The team owns systems end-to-end (build, release, reliability)

Compensation

For this role, the estimated annual base salary range is between $990,600.00 - $1,300,000.00 (MXN). In addition to base salary, our compensation package may include bonuses, commissions for eligible sales roles, and a comprehensive benefits package. The actual base salary will vary based on factors including individual qualifications and market data, as objectively assessed during the interview process.

Benefits

• Health & Wellness — Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, tailored to your local needs
• Time Off — PTO and public holidays to rest, recharge, and do what matters most
• Volunteer Days — Dedicated time to give back and support the communities that matter to you
• Ignite Days — Dedicated learning days to support continuous growth, skill development, and professional learning
• Financial — Compensation that reflects your market and your value
