## About the role

We're looking for an experienced software engineer to join our Hardware Intelligence team. This is a highly ambiguous, zero-to-one engineering role. You'll build the infrastructure, data systems, and AI capabilities that power the next generation of intelligent engineering tools. Rather than implementing predefined product requirements, you'll work alongside customers and product leaders to discover what should exist, and then build it.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years of experience building AI or machine learning products that shipped to production
- Experience working with large datasets, time series data, observability platforms, data infrastructure, or machine learning systems
- A background in ML, data science, applied AI, or adjacent fields that gives you strong intuition for working with data-intensive systems
- Strong software engineering fundamentals, with experience designing scalable backend or distributed systems
- Experience taking products from zero-to-one, whether at a startup or inside an entrepreneurial team within a larger company
- Strong product instincts and curiosity about customer problems
