Description
Join a team building the next generation of AI-powered decision support for operators and analysts. Our platform combines an AI Copilot and a Deep Research Agent that queries disparate data sources and surfaces synthesized, actionable answers in a single interface — cutting through the noise so operators can focus on high-impact decisions instead of manual data wrangling.
You'll join a team of ~8-12 developers focused on delivering a custom UI, MCP Server, and Agent for the operator workforce. This is a high-visibility program at the intersection of applied AI and operational work, where your code directly impacts analysts making time-sensitive decisions.
You will work closely with operators, analysts, and other software engineers to integrate AI technologies. We're looking for a SWE3 interested in growing into a leadership role on this team.

Design and maintain Python services for the AI Copilot and Deep Research Agent, including MCP Server and agent orchestration.

-
Team leadership, tech lead, or mentorship experience.

Experience with relational databases (RDS or similar).
-
Strong communication skills — technical and non-technical audiences.
-
Experience with or interest in emerging AI technologies.
Nice to Haves

Familiarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol) or similar tool-orchestration frameworks.
