1. Overview
Join a leading AI lab's cutting-edge GenAI team and help build foundational AI models from the ground up. We're seeking talented Senior Full-Stack Software Engineers with deep, hands-on production expertise across modern application stacks — Python, Java, Rust, C#, C++, and TypeScript — to build, integrate, and stress-test real software on top of frontier models before they ship. Engineers work directly with the AI lab's engineering manager on fast-moving projects and are expected to onboard quickly and contribute working code early. This is a full-time commitment of 40 hours per week.
This is a W-2 employment position with Cincinnatus LLC, with the opportunity to be placed at a leading AI Lab as part of their extended workforce.
2. Key Responsibilities
- Build and ship full-stack applications, services, and internal tools — in Python, Java, Rust, C#, C++, or TypeScript — that exercise frontier model capabilities end to end.
- Integrate pre-release model APIs into working software, including the surrounding scaffolding: tool interfaces, evaluation harnesses, and telemetry.
- Diagnose and document model and integration failure modes surfaced while building, translating engineering observations into clear written feedback for the research team.
- Prototype quickly against shifting requirements, delivering working increments with limited up-front specification.
- Collaborate with the engineering manager and other engineers to maintain consistency in code quality, architecture, and technical documentation.
3. Core Qualifications
- 6+ years of dedicated professional experience building and shipping production software at a recognized, top-tier organization, including ownership of systems end to end.
