About The Position

As a member of the Product and Engineering team at PitchBook, you will be part of a team of big thinkers, innovators, and problem solvers who strive to deepen the positive impact we have on our customers and our company every day. We value curiosity and the drive to find better ways of doing things. We thrive on customer empathy, which remains our focus when creating excellent customer experiences through product innovation. We know that greatness is achieved through collaboration and diverse points of view, so we work closely with partners around the globe. As a team, we assume positive intent in each other’s words and actions, value constructive discussions, and foster a respectful working environment built on integrity, growth, and business value. We invest heavily in our people, who are eager to learn and constantly improve. Join our team and grow with us! As a member of the Product and Engineering organization, you will join a team of builders, innovators, and problem solvers focused on amplifying the impact of AI across PitchBook. We value curiosity, pragmatic experimentation, and a relentless focus on improving how teams work. As a Senior Software Development Engineer, AI Enablement, you will serve as a senior individual contributor and force multiplier for engineering, product, research, and business teams by designing and building AI-powered developer productivity and general productivity tools. Your mission is to reduce friction, accelerate delivery, and embed AI as a natural extension of everyday work across the company. Rather than focusing on core infrastructure ownership, this role emphasizes internal platforms, developer tools, workflows, and enablement patterns that help teams build, ship, and operate faster using AI. You will work closely with engineers, product managers, and non-technical partners to translate ambiguous, real-world pain points into scalable, high-impact solutions. In this senior role, you are expected to operate with a high degree of autonomy, lead complex initiatives end-to-end, and raise the technical bar through strong design, implementation, and mentorship. Your work will directly influence how PitchBook teams use Generative AI, LLMs, and automation to create value—helping the company move faster, innovate more effectively, and fully realize the benefits of its AI investments.
