About Ande

Ande is the AI-native network that finally makes corporate entertainment effortless, for the enterprises that book and the providers that serve them. Backed by Bain Capital Ventures.

About the role

You will own the intelligence behind the Ande Agent. That's the concierge and its team of subagents that take a request from one sentence ("dinner for 12 with the Acme team next Thursday, somewhere private") to a confirmed, paid, on-policy booking. Along the way they source venues, compare options, email the venue and negotiate terms, and handle every change after that. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Production evals: you’ve owned evals in production, from writing them to finding failure modes in real traffic and improving quality turn by turn
  • Systems engineering: strong TypeScript and backend skills, including queues, concurrency, idempotency, and how distributed systems fail
  • Sound judgment: you know where a model belongs and where deterministic code does, and you have the discipline to make agent actions safe, auditable, and reversible
  • AI-native workflow: you use AI coding agents every day. Our codebase is built to be worked on by them, and we expect you to raise that bar
  • Clear communication: you can explain agent behavior and trade-offs to product, operations, and customers

This is not a chatbot or a demo. The agent acts on real money, on behalf of real executives, with real venues on the other end of the thread. It runs in production today for reservations and private dining....
