About the role
At Artisan, we're working on a new, ambitious project that will push the boundaries of what agentic AI can do. We're keeping the product details private ahead of launch, but we can tell you this: the technical problems are substantial, the scope for invention is real, and this hire will shape the core technology.
What they're looking for
- You have personally built and shipped a substantial agentic system. Production use or rigorous, reproducible open-source work matters more than the name of a framework or employer
- You have deep practical experience with LLM tool use, planning, context engineering, and evaluations. You have implemented multi-agent coordination or substantial parallel agent/tool execution and can explain its failure modes
- You have hands-on experience with browser or computer automation in an agentic system, including observing state, verifying effects, and recovering when an interface or execution path fails
- You are an excellent software engineer in Python, TypeScript, or a comparable language. You are comfortable with asynchronous services, state machines, persistence, concurrency, retries, and cancellation
- You know which decisions belong to a model and which guarantees must be enforced in code. You can reason carefully about permissions, untrusted inputs, uncertain external outcomes, and human approvals
- You can design meaningful experiments, debug real system behavior, and explain what improved, why it improved, and where the evidence is still weak

At Artisan, we're working on a new, ambitious project that will push the boundaries of what agentic AI can do. We're keeping the product details private ahead of launch, but we can tell you this: the technical problems are substantial, the scope for invention is real, and this hire will shape the core technology.
We're looking for a hands-on technical lead to design and build the underlying AI architecture. You'll work across agent behavior, complex multi-agent systems, tool use, context, and evaluation, taking promising ideas through to dependable production software.
This is an individual-contributor role with broad technical ownership. You'll make consequential architecture decisions, write the hardest parts of the system, and work closely with our existing engineers and leadership. You should enjoy both exploring an uncertain problem and doing the detailed engineering required to make a solution work.
