## About the role

You'll work closely with product, research-adjacent teammates, and other engineers to make sure agents aren't just capable, but reliable, steerable, and worth trusting with real work. That means the job isn't only about improving model behavior in isolation - it's about turning those improvements into measurable gains in task completion, reliability, and time saved for the people using them.
