Base Pay Range $160,000 - $180,000 per year
Qualified is the Agentic Marketing Platform for B2B companies, offering a new way to grow inbound pipelines with Piper, its AI SDR Agent. The platform engages website visitors, captures leads, and converts buyers into pipeline around the clock for brands such as Crunchbase, Asana, Box, and Grubhub.
As a Software Engineer on the Product Team, you will tackle technically challenging problems by building exceptional products and integrating LLMs, embeddings, and other AI technologies into our offerings. You will focus on system architecture, scaling infrastructure to run AI agents reliably in asynchronous environments, and owning the end‑to‑end delivery of features—from coding and testing to deployment and monitoring.
Responsibilities
Develop customer‑focused applications by building new features, improving existing ones, and creating entirely new products.
Utilize the latest advances in machine learning, LLMs and other AI technologies to enhance our products and deliver reliable, scalable systems.
Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Product Designers, and Platform Engineers to ideate and develop mission‑critical applications.
Conduct rapid prototyping and iterative development to enhance AI solutions based on real‑world performance and user feedback.
Ensure our core functionality is stable, scalable, well‑maintained, and continuously improving.
Design and evolve system architecture to support scalable, reliable AI agent execution in asynchronous environments.
Scale and harden our infrastructure for high‑throughput workloads, including queueing, scheduling, backpressure, retries, and robust observability.
Build and operate event‑driven services using queues/streams and reliable message processing patterns.
Continuously grow your technical skills to tackle our toughest challenges related to quality, performance, robustness, and reliability.
Contribute to our team’s culture by mentoring other engineers and setting standards of engineering excellence.
Support and scale highly‑available, highly‑trafficked services essential for our customers’ time‑sensitive, business‑critical needs.
Qualifications - Technical Skills
4+ years of experience in professional full‑stack software development, with a recent focus on leveraging AI/ML technologies.
Expertise in working with all components of a modern web application.
Proficiency in programming languages such as Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, Python, or Go.
Proficiency in object‑oriented programming, systems design, and working with large‑scale, low‑latency systems.
Experience designing system architecture for scalable, resilient services and AI agent orchestration in asynchronous environments.
Strong understanding of concurrency, asynchronous processing, and backpressure strategies.
Experience with distributed and event‑based systems.
Experience using frontier‑scale LLMs (e.g., GPT, Claude, Gemini) programmatically for developing applications in production environments is a plus.
Experience working with SQL and RDBMS (PostgreSQL preferred) and data warehousing solutions.
Strong software engineering practices, including coding, unit testing, code reviews, and design documentation.
B.S. or higher in Computer Science (or equivalent work experience).
Qualifications - Business Skills
Passionate about crafting innovative, scalable solutions, solving intricate technical problems, and making a tangible impact.
Highly curious about engineering beyond immediate discipline with a desire to stay at the cutting edge of applied AI.
Driven by the challenge of creating elegant, intuitive, and robust products.
Self‑directed, independent, and experienced in owning complete features and products.
Fearless in stepping outside their comfort zone to tackle various challenges and opportunities as we rapidly grow the product and team.
Proactive in sharing thoughts and input; we value open communication over a heads‑down environment.
Experience working with Agile methodologies.
Diversity & Inclusion Qualified is committed to bringing together individuals from different backgrounds and perspectives. We strive to create an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive, feel a sense of belonging, and do great work together.
Equal Opportunity Employer We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer open to all qualified applicants regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or expression, Veteran status, or any other legally protected status.
