## About the role

Own Elicit's scholarly search and data platform: its coverage, freshness, quality, reliability, and cost as the product and its sources change. Turn what customers and the business need into a technical plan for the area, working closely with product, sales, and partners. Bring new kinds of evidence into Elicit and make them useful to LLM-based features, keeping structure, citations, and provenance intact.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years of software engineering, including production systems you owned and architecture decisions you made yourself
- Strong Python. You'll use it every day, and our interviews include live coding. Working knowledge of TypeScript too, React is a plus
- Experience designing, debugging, and tuning distributed data pipelines. Spark is especially useful, and comparable distributed-systems experience counts
- Solid SQL, plus a practical feel for partitioning, joins, columnar formats, and how data layout affects performance and cost
- Experience integrating messy external data: APIs, bulk exports, file drops, changing schemas, rate limits, partial failures, and overlapping records
- Care for data quality, entity resolution, provenance, and observability, and a plan for when things fail
