How to Apply for Software Engineer, Full Stack
at Haize Labs
🏢 About Haize Labs
Haize Labs is building an AI reliability platform focused on deploying safe, trustworthy AI applications. The company works at the intersection of cutting-edge AI research and practical tooling, collaborating directly with research teams to pioneer evaluation methodologies. This offers a unique opportunity to work on meaningful problems in AI safety while building user-facing products.
About This Role
This Full Stack Software Engineer role involves end-to-end development of features for Haize's AI reliability platform, requiring both frontend component design for complex visualizations and backend work with databases like Postgres and MongoDB. You'll directly interface with customers to design intuitive workflows and collaborate with research teams to build industry-leading tooling for trustworthy AI applications.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might involve designing React components for new AI evaluation visualizations in the morning, collaborating with research teams on tooling requirements after standup, then implementing backend features in Python/Go with appropriate database choices. You'd likely spend time reviewing customer feedback to iterate on workflows and ensure the platform clearly conveys complex reliability concepts.
