We invest in people through extensive learning programs and mentorship opportunities to foster curiosity and better ways of doing things. We value customer empathy and strive to create excellent customer experiences through product innovation.

As a Staff Software Development Engineer, AI Enablement, you will operate as a technical leader across Product, Engineering, Research, and Business teams. This role defines, builds, and scales AI-powered productivity capabilities that change how Pitch Book teams work, ship, and innovate. It is a high-impact, high-autonomy role focused on software systems, internal platforms, and developer productivity tools rather than core infrastructure ownership.
