Who You Are
We're looking for exceptional engineers who thrive across the full spectrum of AI challenges - from fine-tuning to agentic workflows. You'll be the bridge between our cutting-edge AI technology and real-world customer needs, diving deep into technical integrations while building meaningful relationships with HR teams.
You're equally comfortable writing Python scripts, building API integrations, and explaining complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders. You thrive in environments where no two days are the same - one moment you're troubleshooting a Workday integration, the next you're designing custom workflows for a client's unique PIP process.
Working At Wisq
Our tech stack includes (but isn’t limited to) Python, Java, Kafka, vector databases, reactive programming frameworks, and both commercial and open-weight LLMs - though we’re just as ready to adopt or invest new tools if the task calls for it.
Our high velocity team moves fast, thinks big, and constantly pushes the boundaries of what’s possible on the bleeding edge of AI technology. We work hard, but maintain a deeply collaborative and fun-loving atmosphere - from virtual lunches and draw battles to cooking classes that bring our distributed team together.
While our headquarters is in Redwood City, CA, we operate as a hybrid/remote team across the US.
