What you'll be doing:
- Iterative AI application development: Working in a cross functional team of product, design, and engineering, you’ll identify the highest impact opportunities to leverage AI to solve previously-unsolvable customer problems, and develop solutions that are performant, reliable, secure, and trustworthy.
- Building feedback loops: AI application development has challenges that traditional software development does not - non-determinism of solutions means new approaches to ensuring the quality of the product as you iterate and make changes are essential. You will help us develop and mature these new approaches, so that our customers can trust the solutions we deliver.
- Laying the foundations: We want to make the technology that powers our AI solutions to be available to all our R&D teams - you will ensure our AI foundations are robust, fit for purpose, scalable, and secure, so that any team at Octopus can use them.
- Drive our AI roadmap: As a team living and breathing the intersection of continuous delivery and AI, you will develop insights and intuition as to what future problems we should be solving with AI. You’ll play a key part in developing Octopus’ AI roadmap, which will help our customers understand how AI in Octopus will supercharge their devops capabilities.
- Sharing the journey: We want to take our customers on the journey with us, so you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to the Octopus blog, livestreams, and speak at events to share our perspective on how AI and devops intersect.
- Own the software from concept to production: Take full end-to-end ownership of software products, from ideation to post-launch monitoring, proactively identifying issues, iterative improvements, and ensuring long-term success.
What you’ll bring:
- Demonstrable experience in building robust applications using at least one widely adopted programming language (e.g., Python, Java, C++, Go, JavaScript, C#, etc.). This includes a strong understanding of software development principles.
- A genuine and enthusiastic interest in the rapidly evolving field of Artificial Intelligence. This includes a desire to stay abreast of the latest advancements, contribute to AI solutions, and actively participate in advancing our organization's AI mission.
- Applicants should have a solid understanding of core AI concepts and technologies. This may encompass areas such as prompt engineering and management and applied use of LLMs. Prior experience with specific AI toolkits or platforms is a plus.
- A proactive and problem-solving mindset, paired with an eagerness to learn and take on new challenges.
- An open and collabor
