- Developing improvements to the existing product, following an existing roadmap focusing on improved data ingestion, UI updates (supported by Fullstack Developer) and potential agentic possibilities.
- Helping design, develop and deliver a new capability focusing on turning existing audience data and insights into conversational AI-powered synthetic audiences, mirroring the demographics and attitudes of their 'real world' counterparts.
- Collaborating with a Product Manager and other Software Developers to ensure work is sufficiently organised and completed.
- Working across the team to ensure informed decisions are made on the application design and testing approaches.
- Contributing to technical decision making alongside colleagues, including Generative AI solutions around RAG and prompt engineering.
