About the Role
We’re looking for junior engineers who are fundamentally AI-native in how they think, build, and collaborate. You’ll work hand-in-hand with our various partners across different engagements, embedding with cross-functional teams. This role lives at the intersection of applied engineering and partnership execution: fast learning cycles, clear reasoning, and high-agency ownership define your day-to-day. If you enjoy tackling ambitious problems while co-creating with AI-first teammates and external stakeholders, this role is for you.
What You’ll Do
Build Across Engagements:
- Move fluidly between domains and teams, adapting your AI-first engineering style to each engagement.
Design & Build AI-First Systems:
- Create software using modern AI frameworks, libraries, and toolchains in collaboration with internal teams and partner organizations.
- Treat AI as part of the architecture from ideation through deployment and iteration.
Think Computationally With Partners:
- Break down ambiguous, physical-world and enterprise problems into step-by-step algorithms that can be executed jointly with AI and human collaborators.
- Reason rigorously about edge cases, data quality, latency, and scalability in each environment.
Collaborate as an AI-Native Engineer:
- Work with product managers, senior engineers, and external partner teams to refine requirements and ship at high velocity.
- Communicate your reasoning clearly so AI-assisted work can be shared, split, and improved across stakeholders.
Evaluate the AI Stack:
- Continuously test and adopt new AI platforms and workflows that raise the bar on speed, reliability, and craftsmanship for our partners.
- Contribute back patterns and tooling to the broader Sansa ecosystem.
Learn & Grow in Context:
- Develop deeper technical expertise and business understanding through exposure to multiple partner organizations and industries.
- Operate with curiosity, agency, and a long-term ownership mindset.
What We’re Looking For
AI-Native Execution DNA:
- Real-world experience with AI coding assistants and AI-first workflows; you engineer differently because you are AI-native at the core.
Computational & Analytical Thinkers:
- Strong problem-solving ability; you frame challenges as algorithms that can be co-executed with AI and partner teams.
Exceptional Collaborators & Partners:
- Excellent ENGLISH communication skills; you listen actively and can translate your thought process for both AI systems and human stakeholders.
Technical Bedrock:
- Computer Science / Engineering degree + experience
Builder’s Mindset:
- High initiative and ownership; you care about shipping quickly while making things robust for our partners.
Why Join Us
- Be part of a Silicon Valley venture-backed team
- Get a front-row seat to how AI is reshaping the definition of an engineer
- Work directly with internal leaders and external stakeholders on diverse, high-impact engagements.
- Best in class compensation and an environment optimized for rapid learning, relationship building, and AI-first craftsmanship.
