About this role
The Role
You'll build the agent systems at the core of our product. These systems turn customer goals into reliable, multi-step execution across real tools and services.
This is not about building demos. You'll work on agents that operate under real constraints: incomplete information, external failures, limited budgets, and unpredictable traffic. You'll own how they plan, use tools, recover from errors, and improve over time.
Responsibilities
- Design agent architectures for planning, reasoning, tool use, memory, and integration with external systems and data.
- Improve reliability on long-running, multi-step tasks, including failure recovery.
- Build the loops that let agents improve with real use, so performance compounds instead of staying frozen.
- Develop evaluations that measure agent performance and resist being gamed.
- Make practical tradeoffs between quality, latency, cost, and complexity.
Qualifications
- 5+ years building production ML or backend systems, including taking LLM or agent applications from prototype to production.
- Strong understanding of agent design: planning, reasoning, tool use, orchestration, and memory.
- Experience building rigorous evaluation systems, plus execution tracing and observability for agents, with a focus on reproducibility.
- Familiarity with the OpenAI Responses API, MCP, and server- versus client-side execution.
Above all, we're looking for great teammates who make work feel lighter and aren't afraid to go out on a limb with bold ideas. You don't need to be perfect, but you do need to be adaptable. We encourage you to apply, even if you don't check every box.
## About us
Most AI is frozen in place - it doesn't adapt to the world. We think that's backwards. Our mandate is to build efficient intelligence that evolves in real-time. Our vision is AI systems that are flexible, personalized, and accessible to everyone. We believe efficiency is what makes this possible - it's how we expand access and ensure innovation benefits the many, not the few. We believe in talent density: bringing together the best and most driven individuals to push the boundaries of continual adaptation. We're looking for builders and creative thinkers ready to shape the next era of intelligence.
## Benefits
