Senior/Staff Software Engineer, AI Platform

The posting, as Allspice wrote it

Help define the future of hardware development! At AllSpice, we're building the automation engine that powers the next generation of circuit design, enabling breakthroughs in smart vehicles, robotics, rockets, IoT, medical devices, and more.

We're creating the agile development environment for hardware engineers with a Git-friendly translation layer and automated CI/CD framework for native circuit designs. Think GitHub/GitLab + Copilot for electronics.

Our mission is to bring the same modern workflows that revolutionized software: version control, automation, and collaboration to the hardware world.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

This is a senior, high-impact software engineering role at the intersection of AI platform development, data engineering, and full-stack product development. You will own the tooling, evaluation systems, and data platforms that make AllSpice's Generative AI team more effective. Your primary users will be internal engineers and product managers, with opportunities to build customer-facing experiences where they support our AI products.

We’re looking for someone who can identify the right problems, make thoughtful technical decisions, and take solutions from discovery through implementation, adoption, and ongoing improvement. As you build domain knowledge and establish the AI platform foundation, we’d also like you to grow into contributing directly to AllSpice’s core product alongside the product engineering team. This is an aspirational growth opportunity, not a prerequisite or the role’s initial primary focus.

You will

• Partner with engineers and product managers to discover workflow bottlenecks, prioritize the highest-impact problems, and own solutions end-to-end—from requirements and architecture to rollout and iteration.
• Own the evaluation and observability layer for our AI products, including automated and human review workflows, regression detection, and comparisons across models, prompts, and pipelines. Make quality, cost, latency, usage, and customer outcomes visible and actionable.
• Build usable internal applications and self-service tools that help engineers and product managers inspect AI results, investigate failures, and provide feedback. Where useful, extend these capabilities into customer-facing experiences.
• Build and maintain scripts, reliable data pipelines, and integrations that connect internal

internal tools.

• Experience building web applications or customer-facing tools using modern frameworks (e.g., Vue, React, TypeScript).
• Practical experience shipping or maintaining LLM-enabled systems and building infrastructure around them, such as evaluation pipelines, observability, or integrations. You understand non-determinism, quality and reliability challenges, and tradeoffs across cost, latency, and model performance.
• Excellent communication skills — you can translate technical findings into clear insights for engineers, product managers, and customers alike.
• A customer-first mindset: you think about the end-user experience and proactively seek feedback to improve the tools you build.
• Bachelor's degree or higher in a technology-related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Project management skills with the ability to lead and collaborate with varied stakeholders to move projects forward.
• Comfort with ambiguity and autonomy: you independently identify problems, propose solutions, make pragmatic build-vs.-buy and architectural decisions, and bring stakeholders along in a fast-moving environment.
• (Preferred) Availability to work out of our flex offices in San Francisco or Boston on a hybrid basis (2–3 times/week), but we are flexible for the right candidate.

RELEVANT SKILLS

You don't necessarily have to be proficient in all of these, but the more you know, the better:

• Python, TypeScript, SQL
• Business analytics and data visualization tools
• Langchain, Pydantic AI, and LLM evaluation frameworks
• GitHub Actions development and CI/CD
• Common web architectures, APIs, and front-end frameworks (Vue, React)
• Monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Langfuse, DataDog, Grafana)
• Project management and stakeholder communication

BENEFITS

• Supportive and smart colleagues, flexible work, opportunity to make a big impact, competitive salary & equity, health, dental, vision, generous PTO, home office stipend.
