Job Description
Staff AI Product Builder
brightwheel
Role Description In this role, you’ll own AI-powered improvements in core brightwheel workflows end-to-end, from opportunity sizing to launch to iteration. You’ll ship experiences that make administrators and teachers faster and more effective, while creating shared patterns and infrastructure that enable the broader engineering team to build safely and consistently. - Design and build cross-cutting AI services (such as retrieval, context, evaluation, and guardrails) that power multiple product areas like classroom workflows, billing, and family communication. - Own the end-to-end product loop as a hybrid PM+Eng+Data builder: talk to customers and internal teams, define success metrics, design workflows and user experiences, shape data and evaluation plans, and ship iterative releases from prototype to reliable, scalable production. - Create shared abstractions and tooling for AI — including common prompt and tool patterns, logging and monitoring, and reusable components — so other engineers can build on a consistent foundation. - Shape our data and system architecture so AI can safely stitch together longitudinal signals across product, billing, support, and operations, and recommend what should happen next — not just report what happened. - Lead by example in AI-augmented engineering, using AI to multiply your own speed, mentoring L2/L3 engineers, and raising the bar for how we design, ship, and operate AI-powered features. Qualifications - 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with clear ownership of medium-to-large production systems from problem statement and design doc through launch and iteration. - A proven track record of shipping AI-powered products to production, with concrete examples where LLMs meaningfully improved metrics like engagement, time saved, satisfaction, or retention. - Hands-on experience with large language models (LLMs) in real applications, including prompt and tool design, retrieval-style patterns (such as RAG), and evaluation and monitoring in production. - Strong computer science fundamentals (e.g., data structures, algorithms, and systems design) and a generalist mindset, comfortable moving between backend, data, and UX to get the job done. - Backend engineering skills in at least one modern web stack (such as Ruby on Rails, Python, Go, or Node), plus confidence with relational databases and larger datasets, from data modeling to performant queries and analytics. - Experience building modern web front-ends, ideally with React or a similar component-based framework. Requirements - Driven by outcomes. - AI-native. - A product-driving technical leader. - Full stack with a platform mindset. - Thoughtful about AI’s limits. - Security-minded. Nice-to-haves - Formal training in computer science (4-year CS degree or equivalent depth in core CS topics). - A portfolio of personal AI projects, open-source work, or writing that shows how you think about applied AI in real-world settings. - Background in vertical SaaS, ecommerce, or other operations-heavy domains. - Experience designing shared platforms or frameworks (for example, internal SDKs, evaluation services, or experimentation tooling) adopted by multiple teams. - A track record of raising the bar for quality and operations: writing secure, testable, maintainable code; automating and simplifying dev/test/ops workflows; writing and reviewing design docs; mentoring other engineers; and contributing to hiring through interviews and feedback. Technology - Backend: Ruby on Rails, Sidekiq - Data: PostgreSQL on Amazon RDS, Redis, and event and analytics pipelines - Frontend: React with TypeScript and Emotion - Mobile: Native iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin with Jetpack Compose) - Cloud & Infrastructure: Docker, Kubernetes on Amazon EKS, GitHub Actions and FluxCD for CI/CD, and AWS services such as S3, CloudFront, CloudWatch, and SNS - AI & Automation: AWS Bedrock and other hosted large language models, vector search, orchestration and agent frameworks, and modern AI coding tools like Cursor

EYBuilding a #BetterWorkingWorld by providing trust through assurance and helping organizations grow, transform & operate.
• Utilize SAP BTP AI Core and AI Launchpad services to deploy and manage AI solutions • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate AI/ML solutions into SAP BTP environments • Design and implement AI/ML models, with a focus on generative AI and Agentic AI techniques using large language models and MCP etc • Develop and maintain scalable and robust applications using Python programming languages • Engage in prompt engineering to fine-tune LLMs for specific use cases and ensure optimal performance • Stay abreast of the latest advancements in AI/ML and SAP BTP to continuously improve our offerings • Provide technical expertise and support for SAP BTP AI Business services to enhance business processes • Document and present AI/ML project results to stakeholders and provide actionable insights
• Design and implement AI-native workflows for image, video, copy, resizing, versioning, QA, approvals, and deployment. • Build the full pipeline from brief to prompt to asset to review to launch — starting with your own hands before scaling through others. • Establish standards for prompts, references, model selection, asset naming, storage, metadata, and quality control. • Create reusable templates, playbooks, and automations so brands can scale output without rebuilding the system every time. • Train internal teams to operate within those systems rather than relying on one-off heroics. • Produce and direct AI-generated creative that meets brand standards and holds up next to traditionally produced work. • Push for photoreal, commercially usable output rather than obvious AI-looking artifacts. • Develop workflows for product imagery, concepting, lifestyle scenes, motion, and derivative asset generation across channels. • Make deliberate decisions about when to use AI-only workflows, hybrid human-plus-AI workflows, or traditional production based on quality and brand risk. • Build systems that generate creative variants for testing across paid social, display, email, landing pages, and other growth channels. • Partner with performance marketing and growth teams to connect creative concepts to test design, campaign structure, naming, routing, and readouts. • Increase testing throughput without destroying learning quality. • Develop segmentation-aware creative workflows that tailor concepts, formats, hooks, or offers to different audiences while staying within legal, platform, and brand guardrails. • Work closely with growth, performance marketing, ecommerce, merchandising, brand, and leadership teams to identify and remove creative bottlenecks slowing growth. • Translate emerging tools into practical operating leverage instead of trend-chasing. • Stay hands-on enough to ship the first wins yourself while building infrastructure others can use. • Act as both function owner and dangerous builder: set the bar, build the system, and prove it in live work.
• Build AI-native workflows for image, video, copy, resizing, QA, approvals, and deployment across portfolio brands. • Personally create and refine assets across channels, especially where speed and quality both matter. • Establish prompt structures, model-selection logic, reference workflows, naming conventions, and QA standards that turn scattered experiments into repeatable systems. • Generate creative variants for testing across Meta, display, email, landing pages, and other growth surfaces. • Partner with performance marketing and growth teams to connect creative output to testing plans, measurement, and readouts. • Build segmentation-aware variant workflows that tailor angles, formats, hooks, or offers to different audiences while staying within legal, platform, and brand guardrails. • Push for photoreal, premium output and know when to use AI-only workflows, hybrid workflows, or traditional approaches. • Help train internal teams on what good AI creative production actually looks like and how to adopt these systems in practice.
