À propos de ce poste Senior Software Engineer, AI chez Pattern
About Pattern Labs
Pattern Labs is Pattern's AI Research & Development team a small, high-autonomy group of software and AI engineers building the systems that make Pattern's ecommerce acceleration platform AI-native. A sample of what we're building today:
-
An AI content engine that generates, audits, and optimizes marketplace product content at scale pairing LLM generation with deterministic compliance gates and evaluation loops so output is reliable enough to ship on behalf of global brands.
-
Multi-agent research and insights pipelines that mine Pattern's behavioral dataset of more than 91 trillion data points to surface trends, opportunities, and recommendations for brands.
-
Product-data normalization systems that turn messy, multi-marketplace catalog data into a clean store of record across 60+ global marketplaces.
-
Multimodal image intelligence automated tagging, search, and retrieval across large brand imagery libraries.
In this role, you will work directly with the Director of Product AI R&D to define objectives and features against ambiguous business problems and from there, you'll have the autonomy to scope, design, build, evaluate, and ship end-to-end in collaboration with the rest of the team. This is a role for engineers who want room to explore: you'll have a real opportunity to conduct research, run experiments, and then execute on your findings. You will take ownership of the end-to-end delivery of full-stack applications, drive AWS architecture and execution, and champion the technical integration of AI into core processes. Working in an environment with a dedicated budget for bleeding-edge technology, you will mentor colleagues and build scalable systems that directly impact global ecommerce acceleration.
What is a day in the life of a Senior Software Engineer?
-
Architect, build, and deploy high-performing products from proof-of-concept through production in short, iterative cycles.
-
Perform heavy cloud infrastructure design and execution, leveraging AWS services to support high-throughput, data-intensive systems.
-
Integrate generative AI capabilities (LLMs, embeddings, multimodal models, agents) to address real business challenges and open new market opportunities.
-
Make AI systems production-reliable: design evaluation harnesses, guardrails, and structured outputs so LLM-powered features ship with confidence.
-
Work agentically: agentic coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) are a core part of our workflow you'll help evaluate emerging AI models and set the team's standards for agentic development, automated testing, DevOps, and observability.
-
Guide engineering colleagues through architectural reviews, code reviews, pair programming, and technical goal setting.
-
Collaborate cross-functionally across global time zones, partnering directly with product management, design, and engineering teams.
What will I need to thrive in this role?
-
5+ years of professional software engineering experience delivering production full-stack applications.
-
Deep familiarity and hands-on expertise with AWS infrastructure; holding an AWS Solutions Architect Certification (or the ability to achieve certification rapidly) is strongly preferred.
-
Proficiency in back-end development (e.g., Python/FastAPI, Node.js) and modern front-end frameworks (e.g., React).
-
Strong working knowledge of relational databases and SQL, with specific preference for PostgreSQL or Snowflake.
-
Proven track record of taking 0→1 products or complex cloud initiatives from concept through production launch.
-
Practical experience or high capability with generative AI systems (e.g., prompt and context engineering, vector search and retrieval, agent orchestration) and agentic development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot).
-
The ability to speak credibly to what it takes to make LLM systems reliable evaluation, guardrails, structured outputs, and failure modes. Prior production LLM experience isn't required, but building this discipline is a core expectation of the role.
What does high performance look like?
-
Deliver scalable, end-to-end features on time with high code quality, reliable CI/CD pipelines, robust observability, and rigorous evaluation of AI-powered behavior.
-
Proactively identify system bottlenecks and architect secure, resilient AWS cloud solutions that minimize technical debt.
-
Elevate team productivity through thoughtful technical mentorship, fostering an environment of continuous learning and AI adoption.
-
Consistently align technical deliverables with product goals, translating complex AI capabilities into tangible business value.
What is my potential for career growth?
-
Opportunity to spearhead architectural decisions for next-generation, AI-driven ecommerce products.
-
Clear advancement paths toward principal-level engineering leadership or specialized AI/Cloud architectural roles.
-
Exposure to executive leadership, high-impact R&D initiatives, and direct influence over engineering best practices.
-
Access to a dedicated education and hardware stipend, along with an AI exploration budget to continuously expand your technical skill set.
What does success look like in the first 30, 60, 90 days?
-
30 Days: Onboard onto the codebase and AWS environment, complete initial code contributions, and establish working relationships with R&D leadership and global engineering partners.
-
60 Days: Take full ownership of key feature deliverables, implement AWS best practices within your service domain, and begin integrating/evaluating new AI developer tools.
-
90 Days: Lead the design and deployment of an end-to-end AI/full-stack initiative with evaluation built in mentor junior team members, and contribute directly to setting architectural standards.
What is the team like?
This role sits on Pattern Labs, Pattern's AI Research & Development team, and reports directly to the Director of Product AI R&D. You will be joining a growing team of software and AI engineering professionals based in the US and India. In this role, you will collaborate closely with Product Managers, Designers, Software Engineers, and AI Engineers. This position is mentored by the Principal Software Engineer on the team as well as other senior technical leaders.
