If you're passionate about AI, love building things, and have a knack for communicating complex technical concepts in a clear and engaging way, we want to hear from you.

The role combines technical expertise with creative problem-solving, requiring you to build demonstrations that effectively communicate the value of our AI-powered recommendation and search platform. You'll work with cutting-edge technologies, including large language models, while collaborating closely with sales, marketing, and product teams to ensure our demos resonate with potential clients.

1. Demo Development (60%): Creating high-impact demonstrations of our platform's capabilities, experimenting with AI techniques, and tailoring demos to specific industry use cases.
2. Data Preparation (20%): Handling data acquisition, cleaning, and transformation to support demo creation.
3. Communication & Collaboration (20%): Engaging with the AI/ML community, creating content, presenting demos, and providing valuable feedback to product teams.

We're looking for someone who brings both technical proficiency and excellent communication skills. The ideal candidate will have experience in software or data engineering, strong programming abilities (particularly in Python and JavaScript), and a passion for creating engaging technical demonstrations. You should be comfortable working with web technologies and have an eye for design and user experience.

• Be at the forefront of AI innovation in search and recommendations
• Join an in-person team in Brooklyn, NY
