This role sits at the intersection of s oftware engineering, data engineering and applied AI: you will design the pipelines that power the personas and , the models and the platform deployments that bring them to life. This is not a maintenance role. The platform is being built from the ground up, and every technical decision you make will shape what it becomes. You will work alongside researchers, data scientists, and product engineers in a small, high-trust team where curiosity and ownership are the norm. What You Will Do * Design and build a scalable platform and the data pipelines that ingest, transform, and serve structured and unstructured data to AI models * Develop and iterate on AI/ML components — including LLM-based agents, embedding models, and behavioral simulation layers — that power synthetic persona generation * Architect and maintain the data infrastructure underpinning persona modeling: feature stores, vector databases, data lakes, and real-time serving layers * Collaborate with researchers to translate persona logic and behavioral frameworks into working system components * Write
