About the job
Imagine stepping into a role where your code directly empowers the world's largest enterprises to safely adopt superintelligence. As a software engineer, generative ai at WRITER, you'll be at the forefront of expanding human capacity by building the secure, scalable foundation that allows our generative AI solutions to thrive in complex corporate environments. The impact of this work is massive – for example, in the consumer packaged goods industry alone, our AI adoption is driving 69% revenue increases and 72% cost reductions. This role is designed for a well-rounded engineering generalist who leans heavily into generative AI while bringing a whole-systems mindset to architectural design. If you thrive on proactivity without red tape and love owning projects from proposal to deployment, you'll shape the future of AI and contribute to a product that’s changing how the world works. This is a hybrid role based out of our San Francisco, New York City, or London hubs. You'll report to an engineering director or a senior engineering manager.
Responsibilities
- Design and develop robust, secure, and scalable generative AI services and applications using Python and modern frameworks to drive enterprise-wide transformation
- Build and optimize high-performance, low-latency APIs and microservices to integrate advanced AI models and sophisticated agentic workflows into our core platform
- Act as a whole-systems thinker by making meaningful system design decisions and owning the architecture of core platform components from initial proposal through production deployment
- Implement and maintain responsive user interfaces using technologies like React and TypeScript to deliver intuitive user experiences and bridge the gap between backend services and frontend enablement
- Drive proactivity without red tape by clearly communicating changes, plans, and proposals to cross-functional teams and collaborating closely with product managers, data scientists, and DevOps engineers
- Partner with DevOps teams to build continuous deployment, logging, and monitoring systems that ensure top-tier performance, security, and reliability across distributed workloads
Qualifications
Minimum
- 3-5+ years of hands-on experience as a software engineer with a strong emphasis on Python development in production environments
- Proven expertise in building and deploying generative AI applications, leveraging LLMs, vector databases like Pinecone, Weaviate, or pgvector, and modern open-source agentic frameworks
- Practical experience with microservices architecture, RESTful APIs, cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure, and containerization with Docker and Kubernetes
- Solid grasp of modern web technologies including FastAPI, Asyncio, database systems like PostgreSQL, and hands-on experience leveraging AI developer tooling like Claude, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot to accelerate your engineering workflows
- Exposure to enterprise architecture including practical experience implementing IAM, SSO, SAML, OAuth, OIDC, RBAC, robust security best practices, or building services for enterprise administration and billing systems
