Senior AI Applied Software Engineer

The Job in Short

As a Senior Applied AI Software Engineer, you design and deliver complex AI-enabled product capabilities with minimal guidance. This role transitions away from siloed frontend/backend titles toward a T-shaped, full-stack profile spanning UI, APIs, services, and data pipelines. You serve as a technical authority who mentors peers and raises the bar on AI-native engineering practices.
