Description
The Innovation Engineer role focuses on rapid experimentation, prototype development, and applying emerging technologies such as generative AI. This position works directly with the Innovation Technology Principal to design, build, and test software prototypes that evaluate new ideas and technologies.
This is not a traditional product engineering role. The Innovation team focuses on exploring ideas quickly, validating technical feasibility, and learning fast. Prototypes created by the team are intended to test concepts and gather feedback, not to serve as production systems. When a concept proves valuable, it transitions to product and engineering teams for full development.
Candidates who enjoy turning rough ideas into working software within days tend to do well in this role. The ideal candidate is comfortable starting from a blank page, learning new technologies quickly, and translating loosely defined ideas into useful software.
This role provides significant autonomy to experiment with technologies and approaches when exploring new ideas.
This position is based in Frisco, Texas and follows a hybrid work schedule.
