About the role
Blaize is growing our Solutions engineering team, and we're looking for a Software Engineer to join a close-knit, multi-disciplinary group at the start of their career. This is a newly created role designed to bring fresh talent into the team, with strong mentorship built in from day one. You'll work alongside experienced engineers who are genuinely invested in helping you grow, in an organization where every voice is heard regardless of tenure.
Our management style is open and collaborative — we encourage autonomy, welcome differing opinions, and make space for real discussion rather than top-down direction. No one is siloed away on a project; everyone has a voice.
What you’ll do
- Build and maintain our Video Analytics library, contributing to internal tooling and workflows that are already well-defined and established
- Work closely with the existing Solutions engineering team as you ramp up on tooling, codebase, and processes
- Partner with AI Development, Platform, Rapid Prototyping and Solution Validation teams as needed on cross-functional work
- Take on increasingly independent tasks as your familiarity with the codebase and workflows grows
- Participate actively in an open, collaborative team culture — sharing ideas and feedback freely
