Job Description:
The Senior AI Engineer, Hivemind Learning & Development is a hands-on individual contributor who will build the AI-powered products, content systems, and measurement capabilities that help engineers learn Hivemind faster and apply it successfully. Embedded within the Hivemind Learning & Development team, this role combines production AI engineering, developer experience, and technical education.
You will own an AI training coach that provides grounded, context-aware guidance; create tooling that turns learning objectives and product changes into high-quality workshops; and partner with autonomy experts to produce deeply technical curricula, labs, and assessments. The role works closely with Applications Engineering, Hivemind engineering and Customer Success.
Success is defined by trusted learning products that ship, shorter time to technical proficiency, faster and more consistent workshop development, content that stays current with Hivemind releases, and clear evidence that training improves customer capability and product adoption.
