The Opportunity

AI Platform is Root’s team for building the infrastructure, tooling, and operating patterns that make AI capabilities reliable, secure, and usable across Root’s products and operations. As a Senior Software Engineer on AI Platform, you will independently own hard engineering problems, turn early demand into durable platform primitives, and help define the patterns that make responsible AI part of everyday work.

Salary Range: $154,200 - $210,000 (Eligible for competitive bonus and equity offering)

Root is a "work where it works best" company. This means we will support you working in whatever location that works best for you across the US.

How You Will Make an Impact

• Reduce the friction between a promising AI idea and a production-ready capability through self-service tools and thoughtful developer experience.
• Work alongside product engineering, data, security, and platform partners to turn their highest-leverage needs into shared solutions.
• Help establish the technical standards, documentation, and design practices that make responsible AI development repeatable at Root.

• 4+ years as a software engineer
• Demonstrated ability to independently deliver complex software or infrastructure work with high quality.
• Experience with cloud infrastructure, preferably AWS, and infrastructure-as-code such as Terraform.
• Strong DevOps practices, including automation, observability, incident response, and secure delivery.
• Familiarity with AI/LLM application patterns and the judgment to use them responsibly.
• A platform-as-a-product mindset and ability to work across systems within a domain.
• Clear communication and effective collaboration with engineers and immediate cross-functional partners.
