Software Engineer
Company Overview:
We are building Protege to solve the biggest unmet need in AI — getting access to the right training data. The process today is time intensive, incredibly expensive, and often ends in failure. The Protege platform facilitates the secure, efficient, and privacy-centric exchange of AI training data.
Solving AI’s data problem is a generational opportunity. We’re backed by world-class investors and already powering partnerships with some of the most ambitious teams in AI. The company that succeeds will be one of the largest in AI — and in tech.
We’re a lean, fast-moving, high-trust team of builders who are obsessed with velocity and impact. Our culture is built for people who thrive on ambiguity, own outcomes, and want to shape the future of data and AI.
Role Overview:
As a Software Engineer, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping our product and infrastructure. Your work will span from building customer-facing features to optimizing backend systems to working with our data warehouses. You’ll be expected to own projects and features and be able to engineer them from the ground up.
We're looking for software engineers that range from the mid to staff level!
Key Responsibilities:
Design, build, and ship end-to-end features across our stack, balancing speed with technical excellence
Identify and solve complex problems with creative, pragmatic solutions, knowing when to build quick fixes versus long-term, scalable systems
Take ownership of projects from idea to production, including testing, deployment, and iteration based on user feedback
Be a part of shaping our engineering culture and processes, introducing and iterating best practices for code quality, collaboration, and scalability
