Job summary
South Pole is looking for an AI Developer to help build the intelligent layer behind our products. You will design, build, and ship production‑grade AI features: LLM‑powered workflows, retrieval pipelines,
and agentic tooling that turn large, messy environmental and carbon‑market data into reliable answers.
This is a hands‑on engineering role pitched at a medior‑to‑senior level.

- Pipelines & Integration: Build robust data and inference pipelines that connect our AI layer to product back‑ends, vector stores, and source systems (AQ, Salesforce, G
