Full Job Description

📋 Description

• Build end-to-end AI-powered product features using React/TypeScript for the frontend and Node.js/Python for the backend, focusing on customer-facing interfaces like streaming chat, intelligent summaries, and guided automation for compliance workflows.
• Translate AI capabilities—including RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, and structured reasoning—into intuitive, user-friendly interactions that feel natural to compliance practitioners, ensuring seamless human-in-the-loop experiences.
• Partner closely with AI Engineers to define API contracts and output schemas, ensuring product-layer implementations align with backend AI models while maintaining reliability and performance in production.
• Advocate for the user’s perspective in technical decisions by identifying where AI outputs break down in practice and iterating on the product layer to improve accuracy, clarity, and trustworthiness.
• Design and implement user-facing feedback loops that capture signal on AI output quality and make that data actionable for the broader AI team to improve model performance.
• Instrument AI features with product-level observability metrics including latency, engagement, task completion, and drop-off rates, alongside end-to-end tests that validate behavior across the full stack.
• Establish reusable engineering patterns such as streaming hooks, feedback components, and AI state management systems to accelerate the development of future AI features across the product.
• Mentor junior engineers on AI product development best practices, participate in design reviews with both technical depth and product instinct, and help elevate the team’s collective understanding of AI-integrated UX.
• Work within a hybrid model in San Francisco, collaborating in-office Tuesday through Thursday for high-impact team alignment, strategy, and innovation, with flexible remote work on Mondays and Fridays.
• Operate in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment where decisions are made quickly, iteration is continuous, and ownership is expected—delivering immediate impact on Drata’s vision of making compliance effortless through AI.
• Contribute to setting the standard for how AI features look, feel, and behave across Drata’s product, influencing the entire product engineering organization’s approach to AI integration.
• Directly impact compliance practitioners by turning complex AI intelligence into trusted, usable product interactions that increase their confidence and efficiency in managing regulatory requirements.
• Accelerate the velocity of AI feature shipping by creating reusable components and interfaces that reduce time-to-market for subsequent AI-driven enhancements.
• Influence the product roadmap through direct exposure to both customer experience and AI capability layers, identifying gaps and opportunities before others in the organization.

🎯 Requirements

• 3+ years of software engineering experience with a proven track record of shipping full-stack features in production
• 1+ years of hands-on experience building AI-powered product features using LLM APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic)
• Strong proficiency in React and TypeScript for building responsive, real-time UIs that handle streaming and async data
• Solid experience with Python and Node.js for backend development and integrating with LLM providers, orchestration frameworks, or AI services
• Practical understanding of prompt engineering, RAG, structured outputs, and AI quality evaluation methods
• Experience implementing streaming response patterns (SSE, WebSockets) and building UIs for partial, uncertain, or progressive AI outputs

🏖️ Benefits

• Stock equity in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) to share in company success
• Up to 100% employer-paid premiums for medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and dependents
• Generous annual stipends for professional and personal development
• Paid parental leave after six months of employment, plus access to Kindbody fertility and family-building benefits
• Flexible vacation policy with paid holidays and hybrid work model (in-office Tue-Thu, remote Mon/Fri)
• Comprehensive financial benefits including 401(k), company-paid life and disability insurance, and tax-advantaged spending accounts
