ABOUT ROCKET MONEY 🔮
Rocket Money’s mission is to meaningfully improve the financial prosperity of millions of people. Rocket Money offers members a unique understanding of their finances and a suite of valuable services that save them time and money – ultimately giving them a leg up on their financial journey.
ABOUT THE TEAM 🤝
The EverPresence team is building the intelligence behind our next-generation financial assistant. We engineer robust backend systems (Node.js + TypeScript, PostgreSQL/pgvector, AWS) and push the envelope with cutting-edge Generative AI — integrating state-of-the-art models (OpenAI, Anthropic), retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, and scalable LLM infrastructure. As a high-caliber, collaborative group, we value rapid experimentation, clean and reliable code, and earning user trust.
IN THIS ROLE, YOU'LL:
- Spend approximately half of your time on LLM-driven work: crafting, refining, and evaluating prompts; designing and iterating RAG/data retrieval strategies; building prompt/response evaluation frameworks; and ensuring the quality and safety of model outputs.
- Spend the other half building and scaling backend services in TypeScript/Node (GraphQL, PostgreSQL/pgvector, AWS) to serve, secure, and monitor our AI-powered user experiences.
- Own features end-to-end: from technical design through implementation and infrastructure to monitoring.
- Collaborate with product, design, and data teammates to transform user challenges into effective conversational solutions—rapidly iterating based on real-world feedback.
- Stay on top of the latest GenAI research, open-source tooling, and best practices—advocating and implementing relevant innovations.
- Contribute to team quality through code reviews, architecture discussions, and mentorship.
ABOUT YOU 🦄
- 6+ years as a professional software engineer, with a strong focus on backend TypeScript/Node and SQL-based systems.
- Demonstrated hands-on experience with large language models—spanning personal projects, prototypes, open-source, or production—including prompt engineering, model evaluations/benchmarks, and understanding of RAG workflows.
- Solid SQL/data modeling skills, ideally with exposure to PostgreSQL (extra credit for pgvector).
- Experience with or enthusiasm for LLM infrastructure tools such as LangFuse and LiteLLM, as well as cloud-based deployment (AWS preferred).
- You’re passionate about GenAI and actively experiment with new models, evaluation tools, and AI workflows in your own time.
- Self-driven, communicative, and motivated to deliver impactful solutions in a fast-moving, highly collaborative environment.
Bonus Points
- Experience using LangFuse and/or LiteLLM for tracking prompts, responses, and evaluations
- Familiarity with model observability stacks
- Any exposure to fintech, security, or compliance challenges

But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
