 About Handshake AI
 
 
 
 Human data is the core infrastructure to AI advancement. Frontier AI labs currently improve model capabilities with various data-intensive post-training techniques. We believe that data spend for AI training will increase by 3-5x in the next few years and continue for much longer as models take on new domains. Handshake AI supports all of the frontier AI labs, working on their most complex data at the largest scale.

 As a Software Engineer II on Fellow Development, you&rsquo;ll build the learning, feedback, and community systems that help Handshake AI&rsquo;s network of AI trainers do their best work. You'll own features end-to-end, drive technical design, and ship tools that directly shape how tens of thousands of people train and evaluate AI models.
 
 
 This role rewards engineers who are curious about the problem, not just the code. You'll work closely with PMs, operators, and the L&amp;T team to understand what makes a great fellow experience, translate that into reliable, scalable systems, and own the outcome from first line of code to launch.

 Collaborate across engineering, L&amp;T, and operations to understand how your work lands and iterate based on real usage
 </li>
 <li>
 Proactively identify and address technical debt, reliability gaps, and performance bottlenecks
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 Desired Capabilities
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 3&ndash;5 years of professional software engineering experience building full-stack applications
 </li>
 <li>

 <li>
 Hands-on experience with modern web stacks (React, Next.js, GraphQL)
 </li>
 <li>
 Solid command of relational databases (PostgreSQL) and thoughtful data modeling
 </li>
 <li>
 Track record of owning features independently and driving them to completion
 </li>
 <li>
 Strong communicator who collaborates well with product, design, and cross-functional partners
 </li>
 <li>
 Comfortable navigating ambiguity and making sound tradeoffs in a fast-paced environment
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 Extra Credit
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Strong user-facing product instincts &mdash; you care as much about the experience as the implementation
 </li>
