The Intelligence Tooling & Enablement is a new internal-facing platform team dedicated to introducing and enabling various AI based solutions to the entire engineering organization. This Team will be focused on defining a vision and modernize software development process by creating services, adjusting processes, documentation, or whatever else is helpful in order to transform Outreach Engineering into an AI first organization. This wide and intentionally vague charter encompasses a slew of evolving topics. We try to proactively get ahead and build the tooling, systems, and training needed for all our engineering teams to adopt a new era of software development and set them up for success by improving development workflow.
Primary areas of coverage:
Build AI solutions and integrate into development life cycle
Evaluate new AI solutions appearing on the market
introduce tooling for administration such as performance or AI credit consumption monitoring
Defining and tracking operational excellence standards
The charter is wide, the opportunities for organizational impact are boundless, and we have your back to try new things and see if they stick and do, in fact, make everyone more efficient.
The Role
We are looking for a highly skilled and experienced Software Engineer to contribute as part of this new team to help offer a great service and experience to their fellow colleagues in the other feature engineering teams. Here you are expected to have a real impact on the engineering platform, helping evolve our technology stack and build reusable components that help the other backend teams.
This role will pave the way to improving the developer experience by creating internal frameworks, SDKs, pipelines, and platforms that accelerate the entire AI development lifecycle.
If a wide leeway to improve developer productivity and production reliability sounds exciting to you, come talk to us!
