## About the role

As a Software Engineer supporting agents, you'll design how Nominal's agents work: you'll architect the one platform our agents, the Nominal MCP, and our internal agent all run on, and set technical direction for the team that builds on it. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Build agent tools and workflows that ship to every customer, from turning test plans into automated checks to running investigations across tests
- Grow the Nominal MCP so external agents can do more of the work our users do, safely and with the user's own permissions
- Build the integrations our internal company agent needs to work across Nominal's own tools and teams
- Turn the patterns forward-deployed engineers find in the field into capabilities every customer gets
- Instrument what you ship, read the traces, and fix what the evals and users tell you
- Work directly with engineers at customer programs to understand how the work is really done
