Requirements
- •5+ years of experience building and shipping production software systems
- •Strong backend engineering fundamentals (APIs, distributed systems, data modeling, reliability)
- •Experience building fullstack systems, with comfort working across backend and occasional frontend surfaces
- •Hands-on experience working with AI/ML systems, LLMs, or inference pipelines in production
- •Ability to prototype rapidly while maintaining a clear path to production-grade architecture
- •Strong systems thinking — able to reason about orchestration, failure modes, and observability
- •Comfort operating in ambiguous, 0→1 environments with high ownership
What You'll Do
- •Build and ship AI-powered agent systems that automate internal workflows and decision paths
- •Design and implement inference pipelines that reason over user interactions across internal systems
- •Prototype quickly to validate agent behaviors, then productionize what proves valuable
- •Architect backend services that integrate with multiple internal APIs and data sources
- •Define patterns for safe, observable, and controllable agent execution
- •Collaborate cross-functionally to identify high-leverage automation opportunities
- •Improve system speed, reliability, and signal quality as usage scales
- •Contribute to foundational design decisions for a 0→1 agent platform
Nice to Have
- •Experience building or operating agent-based systems or autonomous workflows
- •Familiarity with prompt engineering, evaluation frameworks, or model performance tuning
- •Experience integrating with internal enterprise systems (CRM, support tools, analytics platforms, etc.)
- •Background in building developer platforms or internal tooling
- •Experience designing guardrails, sandboxing, or safety layers for AI systems
