About the job

Scale GP is Scale’s enterprise Generative AI platform, providing APIs and infrastructure for knowledge retrieval, inference, evaluation, and intelligent automation. We power mission-critical workflows for leading enterprises by helping teams turn complex data and models into reliable, production-ready AI systems. We’re forming a new Agentic Data Products team focused on building the next generation of agent-powered tools that ground AI in real operational workflows. Our goal is to help enterprises demystify their data layers and deploy intelligent, agentic systems that can reason over data, take action, and deliver measurable outcomes. This is a 0→1 build team. We’re looking for a sharp, product-minded Senior Engineer who thrives in ambiguity, moves quickly, and enjoys building new systems from scratch alongside customers and cross-functional partners. You’ll work closely with product, forward-deployed engineers, data scientists, and applied AI teams to turn real-world problems into scalable, production solutions. If you like shipping fast, owning outcomes, and working across the stack—from polished frontends to distributed backends to LLM integrations—this role is for you.
