You’ll be part of a small, cross-functional, and dynamic team focused on identifying and building AI-powered solutions that boost productivity across all departments at Goodnotes. The team functions like an internal AI agency—experimenting with modern AI technologies, building impactful internal tools, and driving AI adoption across the engineering organization.

About the role

We’re looking for a mid-level Software Engineer with a passion for AI and practical problem-solving. You’ll contribute directly to the design, development, and deployment of AI-powered solutions that improve productivity across the company. This is an individual contributor role where you'll be deeply involved in coding, prototyping, and learning on the job.

This is the role for you if you're excited to:

• Build and deploy AI-driven internal tools using technologies like large language models (LLMs), retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), AI agents and orchestration frameworks, vector databases, and automation pipelines
• Collaborate with teammates and cross-functional stakeholders (e.g. Product, Design, Marketing) to understand real business needs and translate them into technical solutions
• Stay hands-on with modern AI/ML tools (e.g., AI agents, MCP, A2A, AI SDKs, vector databases, etc.)
• Contribute to experiments and proof-of-concept projects to explore new opportunities for AI in the workplace
• Use coding agents to generate clean, scalable, and maintainable code to bring AI prototypes into production
• Learn continuously and share new insights and best practices with your team
• Help integrate AI into internal workflows and assist other teams in adopting AI-powered features

You’ll thrive in this role if you have:

• 3–5 years of experience in software engineering, with some hands-on exposure to AI/ML projects
• Familiarity with AI/ML tools and platforms (e.g., AI APIs and SDKs, LiteLLM, n8n, OpenWebUI, etc.)
• Experience developing backend services and integrating APIs
• Comfort with deploying cloud-based solutions (AWS preferred) and an understanding of modern DevOps practices
• A pragmatic and user-focused mindset—eager to solve real business problems with practical AI tools
• Strong communication and collaboration skills
• A willingness to experiment, learn, and improve through feedback and iteration

Even if you don’t meet all the criteria listed above, we’d still love to hear from you!
