We’re hiring a Senior Full-Stack Engineer to turn our AI and machine learning capabilities into real products used by millions of consumers and internal teams.

This is a product engineering role, not model training. You’ll focus on delivering AI through scalable, intuitive applications.

You’ll report to the Associate Director, AI/ML & Data Science and work closely with AI/ML engineers and data scientists to bring models, APIs, and data pipelines into production-ready experiences.

You’ll own the full stack, from frontend to backend to cloud—ensuring performance, reliability, and usability at every layer. You’ll also partner with product and design to create AI experiences that are clear, trustworthy, and impactful.

If you enjoy turning complex technology into products people actually use, this is your role.

This is a hybrid position with some onsite expectation; it is not eligible for sponsorship or relocation assistance.

You’ll help power a multi-year AI strategy focused on consumer value, employee tools, and responsible AI.

• You've integrated software with AI/ML services, data APIs, or model endpoints — as a consumer of those services.
• You've deployed on AWS, GCP, or Azure, ideally with Databricks or Sage Maker.

• You love turning complex AI models into products people actually use.
• You move fluently across frontend, backend, and cloud.
