Responsibilities

  • Own the agent layer end-to-end, including context engineering, self-learning systems, evals, the agent harness, and the meta-harness.

  • Design and ship self-healing workflows that autonomously detect, diagnose, and recover from production failures.
  • Build and maintain a meta-harness for creating, evaluating, and evolving agents.
  • Set patterns and standards for how agents are built, measured, and improved.

Requirements

  • 2 to 9 years of professional software engineering experience with hands-on agentic software built within the last year.
  • Strong computer science fundamentals and ideally a technical degree from a well-regarded university.
  • Proficiency with TypeScript and experience working with LLMs, evaluations, and agent tracing in production.
  • Experience building context or self-learning systems that accumulate knowledge to improve agent performance.
  • A demonstrated record of shipping autonomous failure detection, diagnosis, or self-healing workflows to production.
  • Experience with eval-driven iteration and structured context engineering.
  • Startup, founding, YC, or top-tier venture-backed company experience is strongly preferred.
  • Reusable agent harness or meta-harness experience is a plus.

Benefits

  • Salary range of $150,000 to $300,000 USD annually.

  • On-site in San Francisco, California, five days per week.
