These facilities were also recognized as Sustainability Lighthouses for breakthroughs in efficient operations. With our global reach, we ensure the global supply chain has access to the Flash memory it needs to keep our world moving forward.

Description

We build SanDisk's internal Application on SanDisk's AI platform - production AI assistants used daily by engineers across the company. Our agents connect large language models to the systems engineers live in (Jira, Confluence, GitHub, Microsoft 365, lab systems) so they can search engineering knowledge by meaning, triage issues, automate multi-step workflows, and analyze test data.

Essential duties and responsibilities:

• Build and improve AI agents on our LangGraph-based platform (Python) - new tools, smarter prompts, better multi-agent workflows
• Work on retrieval / RAG systems: semantic + lexical search over engineering knowledge bases (vector databases, embeddings, hybrid ranking, ingestion pipelines)
• Ship features in our React/Next.js + TypeScript chat frontends that engineers use every day
• Build MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that give agents new capabilities by connecting internal APIs and engineering tools
• Write FastAPI/Python backend services, work with PostgreSQL and Docker, and deploy through CI/CD pipelines
• Evaluate and improve agent quality: tracing/observability, retrieval benchmarks, prompt iteration
• Ship real code to production - reviewed, tested, and used by real engineers, in your first weeks, not your last

This team develops with AI, not just on AI - What we expect the same from you:

• Hands-on proficiency with AI coding agents - Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or similar - as a daily part of how you write software, not an occasional autocomplete
• Well-versed in the agentic developer workflow: decomposing a task for an agent, writing effective prompts and context, steering multi-step agent sessions, and knowing when to intervene
• Use AI to the fullest across the lifecycle - coding, debugging, test generation, code review, and documentation - while owning the output: you verify, you understand, you're accountable for every line you ship
• Good judgment about AI limits: you can tell confident-but-wrong output from correct output, and you review AI-written code as critically as human-written code

Qualifications

Required:

• Pursuing a BS/MS in Computer Science or related field (graduating Dec 2027 or later)
• Proficient in at least one programming language (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, Go, …) - depth in one matters more than familiarity with many
• Familiarity with web development basics (REST APIs, React or similar) or backend basics (databases, HTTP services)
• Demonstrated use of AI coding tools in real projects
• Genuine curiosity about LLMs and AI agents - you've built something with an LLM API, even a small side project
• Comfort with Git and the command line; you can read unfamiliar code and figure things out

Preferred Skills:

• Additional languages beyond your primary one (Python and TypeScript is our sweet spot)
• Hands-on with LangChain / LangGraph / LlamaIndex, or any agent framework
• Exposure to RAG concepts: embeddings, vector databases, chunking, reranking
• Next.js, Tailwind, or modern React patterns
• Docker, Linux, CI/CD (GitHub Actions), PostgreSQL
• Prompt engineering instincts; experience with Claude/GPT APIs or MCP

What you'll get:

• Mentorship from engineers building agent systems in production, not demos
• The full modern AI-engineering stack on your resume: agents, RAG, MCP, LLM ops, AI-native development, full-stack delivery
• Your work in the hands of real engineering users - with real feedback to prove it

Compensation & Benefits

• An employee’s pay position within the salary range may be based on several factors including but not limited to (1) relevant education; qualifications; certifications; and experience; (2) skills, ability, knowledge of the job; (3) performance, contribution and results; (4) geographic location; (5) shift; (6) internal and external equity; and (7) business and organizational needs.

• If your position is non-exempt, you are eligible for overtime pay pursuant to company policy and applicable laws. You may also be eligible for shift differential pay, depending on the shift to which you are assigned.
• You will be eligible to participate in Sandisk's Short-Term Incentive (STI) Plan, which provides incentive awards based on Company and individual performance. Depending on your role and your performance, you may be eligible to participate in our annual Long-Term Incentive (LTI) program, which consists of restricted stock units (RSUs) or cash equivalents, pursuant to the terms of the LTI plan. Please note that not all roles are eligible to participate in the LTI program, and not all roles are eligible for equity under the LTI plan. RSU awards are also available to eligible new hires, subject to Sandisk’s Standard Terms and Conditions for Restricted Stock Unit Awards.

• Note: No amount of pay is considered to be wages or compensation until such amount is earned, vested, and determinable. The amount and availability of any bonus, commission, benefits, or any other form of compensation and benefits that are allocable to a particular employee remains in the Company's sole discretion unless and until paid and may be modified at the Company’s sole discretion, consistent with the law.
