## About the role

You'll build the agent systems at the core of our product. These systems turn customer goals into reliable, multi-step execution across real tools and services. This is not about building demos. You'll work on agents that operate under real constraints: incomplete information, external failures, limited budgets, and unpredictable traffic. You'll own how they plan, use tools, recover from errors, and improve over time.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years building production ML or backend systems, including taking LLM or agent applications from prototype to production
- Strong understanding of agent design: planning, reasoning, tool use, orchestration, and memory
- Experience building rigorous evaluation systems, plus execution tracing and observability for agents, with a focus on reproducibility
- Familiarity with the OpenAI Responses API, MCP, and server- versus client-side execution
- Above all, we're looking for great teammates who make work feel lighter and aren't afraid to go out on a limb with bold ideas. You don't need to be perfect, but you do need to be adaptable. We encourage you to apply, even if you don't check every box
