About The Role

In this role, you'll own the core LLM infrastructure powering two products redefining B2B research:

Hub – The central cockpit for B2B research. Build self-serve features that compress weeks into days: question → expert insight → follow-up, powered by RAG and adaptive workflows.

Prime – Syndicated intelligence at scale. Architect automated systems that continuously capture expert opinions—creating longitudinal datasets and refreshable dashboards that compound in value.

The technical challenge: fusing structured survey data with unstructured expert knowledge, building semantic search across proprietary corpora, and creating AI pipelines that maintain research-grade quality at scale. If you love building novel data systems that turn raw signals into defensible, high-margin products, this is where you’ll do the most important work of your career.

What We're Looking For

Required

• You write exceptional code, fast. 3-4 years of experience shipping production code in a fast-paced environment

• Full-stack expertise: Moderate proficiency in React, TypeScript, and modern frontend frameworks. Backend experience with Python, Node.js, or similar

• AI/ML implementation experience: Hands-on experience integrating LLMs, building with OpenAI/Anthropic APIs, or implementing ML models in production. We care more about a demonstrated eagerness to learn and an understanding of complex systems than specific years.

• Cloud and infrastructure: Experience with AWS, Docker, and modern deployment practices

• Quality mindset: Experience with testing, code reviews, and maintaining high code quality standards

• Customer focus: Ability to translate user needs into technical solutions while maintaining engineering best practices

Nice To Have

• RAG systems, embeddings, semantic search

• Real-time data processing or streaming architectures

• Open-source contributions in AI/ML
  

What Actually Matters
We care less about credentials and more about demonstrated ability. If you've built something interesting with LLMs- a side project, an open-source contribution, a blog post that shows how you think- put that at the top of your application.
