The role

Dow Jones is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join our GenAI Experiences team in

managers, and peer engineering leads to design and ship reliable, scalable AI-powered

integrations.

● Partner with product managers, data scientists, and engineering leads to translate

business requirements into reliable technical solutions, and surfacing risks and

tradeoffs.

● Integrate internal and third-party LLM and AI APIs to extend system functionality

and deliver new product capabilities.

● Develop tools and frameworks for prompt management, automated evaluations, and

observability.

● Improve team processes - code quality standards, testing practices, observability,

and CI/CD pipelines.

● Monitor and improve production AI systems for reliability, performance, and quality

- troubleshooting issues across the full stack.

● Integrate third-party AI APIs (internal and external) to extend the functionality of

systems.

● Participate in code reviews, apply MLOps best practices, and contribute to team

standards for model versioning, experiment tracking, and CI/CD.

● Stay updated on developments in fullstack engineering for GenAI and IR
