Why This Role Matters

This is a hands-on, high-ownership role. You'll work directly with the founding team to shape how we process, model, and deliver shopping intelligence through language models and structured data.

What You'll Do

• Design, fine-tune, and deploy GPT-based agents and tools to process, normalize, and explain messy data.
• Integrate with large language models (OpenAI, Claude, Mistral, etc.) to build conversational interfaces.
• Work with embeddings, vector search, retrieval augmentation, and few-shot prompts for precision.
• Optimize performance, latency, and cost tradeoffs for real-time query responses.
• Work across our AI infra and backend, including using tools like LangChain, LlamaIndex, Weaviate, or custom RAG pipelines.
• Collaborate on data labeling strategies, synthetic data generation, and evaluation loops.
• Influence the product roadmap with AI-first features and user interactions.

What We're Looking For

• Strong experience with LLMs (GPT-4, Claude, etc.) and applied NLP/ML techniques.
• Hands-on experience with LangChain, OpenAI API, Pinecone/Weaviate, Hugging Face, or similar tools.
• Experience working with structured data (JSON, tabular), particularly in financial or tabular domains.
• Startup mindset: bias for action, ownership, and comfort with ambiguity.

Bonus Points For

• Built or contributed to a production AI/ML product.
• Background in fintech, accounting systems (QuickBooks/Xero), or business intelligence tools.
• Shipped AI features as a solo builder or in a 0→1 environment.
