## About the role

Develop the learning data plane around agents: structured trajectories, feedback and outcome signals, offline datasets, lineage, privacy controls, and reliable links between an agent version and its behavior. Create evaluation systems for task completion, tool use, long-horizon behavior, safety, latency, and cost, and own the credibility of the numbers they produce. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 5-12 years of software engineering experience. We will make exceptions for exceptional people in either direction
- Strong backend and distributed-systems fundamentals, including typed API design, asynchronous workflows, persistence, reliability, and production debugging
- Real depth in at least one of the areas above, and genuine interest in working across the others
- An empirical approach to AI quality: you can form a hypothesis, design a useful evaluation, interpret noisy evidence, and distinguish a real improvement from movement in a proxy metric
- The ability to reason about retries, idempotency, partial failure, long-running state, concurrency, latency, cost, experiment design, and safe rollout
- A security-minded approach to multi-tenant systems, identity, authorization, credentials, tool execution, privacy, and auditability
