## About the role

Syndi is Syndio's AI platform — one shared agent experience (in-product chat, Slack, Teams) serving our product lines, built on syndi-api: an agent runtime owning orchestration, tool calling, memory, RAG, evals, and observability, live in production today. The platform is young (v1 shipped this quarter), moving fast, and designed around a clear operating model: product teams contribute domain content through APIs, evals, and knowledge — the platform owns the experience.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years building production backend systems, deep comfort with Python, relational stores, and cloud infra (we're on GCP/Kubernetes)
- You've built LLM-powered systems in production — an agent loop, tool-calling integration, RAG, or eval infrastructure — and have opinions from the scar tissue
- You design for operability: legal compliance, tracing, evals, and kill switches are part of the feature, not afterthoughts
- You can own a technical domain with light supervision: propose direction in writing with clear API specs, take review, ship, and carry the pager for what you shipped
- Strong written communication — our operating model runs on design docs and PR review across team boundaries
- Nice to have: experience being the platform side of a platform/product relationship, SSE/streaming systems, compliance-adjacent engineering (data minimization, auditability), prior Staff scope
