## About the role

Agents are one of the ways work gets done at Netflix — and the AI Platform is building the foundation they run on. The Agent Platform team owns the durable, horizontal substrate every agent at Netflix is built on, no matter which team ships it or which business it serves: the runtime agents execute in, the SDK developers build them with, the memory that lets them carry context across runs, the identity and permissioning that lets them act safely, and the tool and service interfaces they reach the rest of Netflix... Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Significant software engineering experience (typically 8+ years), with a track record of shipping and operating production systems — not just prototypes
- Hands-on experience building, deploying, and operating LLM agents in production — systems that plan, call tools, observe results, and iterate — beyond chat-completion apps or demos
- Experience evaluating agents the rigorous way: building eval suites, tracing, and quality signals, then iterating on the results to make agents measurably better
- Strong fundamentals in designing and operating scalable, observable, fault-tolerant distributed systems
- A track record of building SDKs, APIs, or libraries that other engineers build on — you think in contracts, versioning, and developer experience, not just features
- Working fluency with modern agent frameworks and the tool/function-calling and MCP patterns they share — deep enough to have an opinion about where they help and where they get in the way
