Principal Software Engineer, Applied AI

About the Role

At Seek, we’re building the first-ever marketplace for data apps—where providers and consumers connect to drive real business impact fast. Insight Cloud isn’t just another BI tool; it’s a platform built from the ground up for the secure exchange of complete, production-ready data applications.

We're hiring a Principal Software Engineer, Applied AI who will serve as a technical leader in bringing cutting-edge AI into production at scale. This role goes beyond coding features. You'll shape technical direction, set patterns for integrating AI into cloud-native applications, and mentor others to deliver robust, human-centered AI experiences. You'll work across the stack while also ensuring our AI capabilities (like conversational querying, guided workflows, and intelligent recommendations) are implemented with reliability, security, and long-term scalability. 

In this role you will get to:

• Build full stack features using React, Python, and modern APIs to deliver high-quality user experiences 

• Design and extend backend services and APIs that integrate AI models and external AI services into the platform 

• Create intuitive user workflows that incorporate AI (e.g., conversational data querying, assisted discovery, or guided analytics) 

• Integrate with Snowflake and our semantic modeling layer to deliver seamless data-driven applications 

• Define patterns and best practices for integrating LLMs and semantic modeling into data workflows 

• Mentor and guide engineers, raising the bar on engineering craft, AI integration strategies, and system reliability 

• Shape the app marketplace experience by advancing intelligent recommendations, AI-assisted publishing, and cross-app insights 

• Ensure reliability at scale by driving observability, automated testing, CI/CD improvements, and performance tuning across AI-enabled systems 

• Partner with product and design leadership to translate ambiguous AI opportunities into customer-ready features 

• Evaluate and influence technology choices (agent frameworks, Snowflake integrations, orchestration layers) 

We’re excited about you because you have:

• 9+ years of full stack development experience with strong proficiency in React and Python

• Proven track record building and shipping production-grade web applications (SaaS or data platforms a plus)

• Deep expertise in system architecture, distributed systems, and API design

• Familiarity with AI/ML integration (using APIs, SDKs, or model endpoints) in production software

• Strong ability to debug complex systems end-to-end across frontend, backend, and data layers

• Demonstrated experience as a technical mentor or team lead driving engineering quality and scaling teams

• Excellent communicator who can bridge technical and business perspectives in cross-functional teams

Bonus points if you have:

• Hands-on experience integrating LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines into apps

• Knowledge of agent frameworks or intelligent assistant patterns

• Familiarity with Snowflake or other cloud data warehouses

• Recognized as a go-to problem solver or thought leader in AI product integration or full stack engineering

• Startup experience—comfortable moving quickly and wearing multiple hats
   

Salary:

• The annual salary range for this position is between $170,000 - $190,000, depending on experience and qualifications.

Benefits:

• Medical Insurance, Dental Insurance,  PTO, 16 annual company holidays, 401K, Vision Insurance
