Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. The hiring client is building an AI-native data visualization platform that turns raw data into publication-quality charts. The Senior Engineer will develop backend services and AI capabilities, establish evaluation infrastructure, and help shape systems that translate user data and intent into visual output.
Responsibilities
- Design and evolve our GraphQL API and the services behind it (Node.js, Postgres, S3, Docker/Kubernetes)
- Build and improve AI-powered features: chart recommendation, data fluency, narrative generation, and agentic workflows that act on user intent
- Own the eval infrastructure by defining what "good” looks like for our AI systems, build LLM-as-judge pipelines, and drive quality improvements from signal
- Work across our composer and fluency engines: the systems that translate user data and intent into visual output
- Contribute to architecture decisions: schema design, data loading and processing patterns, and pipeline orchestration
- Partner closely with frontend engineers and designers (who often work directly in the codebase) to ship full features end-to-end
Skills
- 6+ years of backend engineering experience, with strong TypeScript/Node.js fundamentals
- Hands-on experience building with LLMs: prompt engineering, structured outputs, tool use, retrieval, caching strategies, and cost/latency tradeoffs
- Experience with agentic architectures: multi-step reasoning, tool-calling agents, orchestration patterns, and the failure modes that come with them
- You think carefully about eval infrastructure, not just whether the model works today, but how you'd know if it regressed tomorrow
- You write code that's clear, well-typed, and doesn't require a comment to explain what it does
- You are comfortable moving quickly and leveraging AI assistance
- You can understand tradeoffs, particularly when it comes to moving quickly and code quality
- A genuine enthusiasm for data visualization. You find yourself opinionated about when to use a bar chart vs. a line chart, and you know why it matters
- Experience with LangSmith, LangFuse, or similar LLM observability tooling
- Familiarity with React and willingness to read and occasionally contribute to frontend code
- Prior experience in a design-adjacent or creative tools product
