  • Operationalize AI: Ensure the AI tools you build are reliable, measurable, and seamlessly integrated into our existing ecosystem of tools
  • Be a Good Human: Approach every internal request with empathy and kindness, ensuring that AI tools are built to empower and support our people, not just to optimize metrics.
  • Use leading AI Tools, including Redpanda ADP: Use Redpanda’s Agentic Data Plane and other industry Agentic tools to ensure we’re using the latest tools available to meet our agentic needs.

You Have:

  • Foundational Engineering Skills:  Strong understanding of software engineering best practices (Git, testing, clean code).

  • Collaborative Spirit: A commitment to Winning as a Team you can explain technical concepts to non-technical peers and are motivated by collective success.
  • Adaptability: Comfort with ambiguity and a "bias for action." You thrive in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift as we discover new AI capabilities.
  • Professional Integrity: A commitment to Being a Good Human, which means building ethical, transparent AI and being a supportive, reliable teammate.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
