What You’ll Do

Integrating the latest coding models, APIs, and techniques into the editor to improve generation performance.
•
Writing and deploying Python code that serves hundreds and thousands of requests each second globally.
•
Work cross functionally with the founders, and directly with customers, to design, implement, and deliver the best experiences!
•
Wearing a lot more hats than listed above 👷.
What We’re Looking For
•
Keen problem solving skills: you are able to cut down ambiguous problems down to first principles and deliver a working solution.
•
Strong programming/full-stack foundation: You’re comfortable working on both backend code as well as frontend React code.
•
Experience working directly on user-facing products: you are able to figure out and understand what the user needs, including talking to customers
•
Stellar cross-functional communication skills: you are able to adapt to our ways of working and be an efficient/effective communicator.
•
Owning features end to end: you’ll write your own PRDs/quick specs when necessary, and you test your features end to end to make sure they work and satisfy the requirements
