[Hiring] Software Engineer @Blue Rose Research

Role Description

We are hiring a product-focused engineer to help build a new generation of AI-powered products: conversational interfaces, autonomous research agents, and tools that turn large amounts of data into information a person can act on in seconds.

• Design and build end-to-end features for products where an agent and humans are working together.
• Build products that present AI-generated output, uncertainty, and citations in a way people actually trust.
• Work closely with political researchers, data scientists, and other engineers to turn ambiguous problems into simple, usable software.
• Use AI tools and coding agents to move fast, knowing when a slicker interface actually matters versus when it’s polish nobody needs.
• Talk to users and internal stakeholders to understand what’s confusing, slow, or untrustworthy about existing tools, and fix it.
• Dive head first into the world of political strategy to build systems that encode a deep understanding of the user’s goals and thought processes.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of experience as a product engineer, full-stack engineer, or designer-engineer hybrid, with a portfolio of shipped products.
• Strong product and UX instincts: ability to critique a flow, sketch an alternative, and explain the tradeoff in plain language.
• Comfortable using coding agents to build quickly, without compromising quality.
• Hands-on experience building products on top of LLMs: chat interfaces, agents, retrieval-augmented tools.
• Understanding of how to use human annotations efficiently to encode human expertise into AI systems.
• Eye for visual and interaction design; familiarity with tools like Figma is a plus.
• Energized by ambiguous problems.
• Motivated by Blue Rose Research’s mission and interested in learning the progressive political ecosystem.
• Prior political or civic-tech experience is welcome but not required.

Requirements

• Candidates must be authorized to work lawfully in the United States.

Benefits

• Competitive salary.
• Medical, dental, and health benefits.
• Supportive work environment for differences.
• Remote work options with an office in NYC.
• Shared workspace meetups in DC.
• Most work happens on East Coast time.

Salary

The salary range for this position is $110,000 - $210,000 annually, commensurate with experience.
