Best Egg is hiring a Lead Software Engineer II for AI Operations to design, ship, and operate production-grade LLM applications, agents, and automations across the business.

Our stack includes Python, Metaflow on Outerbounds, AWS (including Bedrock), OpenAI/ChatGPT, and Cursor; Databricks is being evaluated and available where it makes sense.
