What this job is probably like day to day

Shipping most of the day: code review, standups and deep-work blocks. At AI companies expect fast-moving codebases, evals before releases, and on-call at infra-heavy shops. Late stage on top of that: established process, specialized roles, real resources; impact comes through leverage, not heroics.
