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. Public-company rhythm on top of that: quarterly cadences, compliance overhead, mature teams; scope runs deep rather than broad.
