About the Role

Build and ship production-grade AI products end-to-end - owning everything from problem framing and data pipeline design through to deployment and iteration in live environments.
Work closely with our partners in a forward-deployed manner to deeply understand problems and constraints and iterate quickly on scalable agentic solutions.
Lead technical scoping workshops, directly interfacing with city leaders to solve challenging local problems with agentic workflows.
Work across a fast-moving and varied roadmap, contributing to intelligent tooling involving data consolidation, predictive modelling, real-time decision-making, and LLM-powered experiences.
Collaborate directly with product, data science, and operations teams to identify and prioritize the highest-impact AI opportunities across the business.
Write clean, scalable backend code that powers AI-driven features - designing APIs, managing data flows, and ensuring your systems perform reliably at scale.
Help shape the technical culture of AI Labs from the ground up - contributing to how the team builds, reviews, ships, and iterates.
Stay close to the frontier of AI development and bring new ideas, tools, and approaches into the team proactively.

About You

You have 8+ years of hands-on experience building and shipping AI-powered products - with a track record of owning features end-to-end rather than working in isolation on models or research.
You have deep expertise across the AI/ML stack - including LLMs, predictive modelling, and the data infrastructure required to support them in real-world environments.
You're a strong backend engineer at your core - comfortable designing scalable APIs, working with distributed systems, and writing code that is clean, maintainable, and built to last.
You're energized by ambiguity and early-stage environments - you don't need everything to be defined to do great work, and you take ownership without being asked.
You bring the communication skills to work cross-functionally and the intellectual curiosity to keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible with AI.
You thrive when working directly with users and customers, and are comfortable with travel to collaborate on-site.
