Responsibilities

  • Build and ship production multi-agent systems, including control loops, planning, orchestration graphs, tools, coordination, handoffs, state, and durability.
  • Build a safe write-back path for applying agent decisions to customers’ live systems without corrupting data.
  • Create evaluation cases, rubrics, and regression tests to measure and improve agent performance.
  • Design persistent per-account agent memory, pre-computation, and just-in-time retrieval for fast, reliable reasoning across concurrent instances.
  • Protect agents from adversarial data that could hijack their behavior.
  • Integrate frontier LLMs behind a model-agnostic abstraction with routing based on task, cost, and latency.
  • Own the cost, latency, and reliability of the agent platform surface and establish reusable patterns for faster agent development.

Requirements

  • At least 4 years of experience building production systems, including at least 2 years shipping LLM-powered or agentic systems.
  • Experience shipping customer-facing LLM or agent systems used by real users, including diagnosing failures and implementing fixes.
  • Strong current Python skills; TypeScript or Go is a plus.
  • Hands-on experience with modern agent frameworks or orchestration, tool or function calling, structured outputs, retrieval/RAG, and context or memory management.
  • Strong systems-engineering fundamentals in concurrency, distributed systems, statefulness, latency, and cost at scale.
  • Ability to debug deep, nondeterministic failures in multi-step agent traces.
  • High-agency approach to scoping, prioritizing, and shipping work independently.
  • Bonus: Salesforce APIs, including Bulk 2.0, Composite, or Pub/Sub, or another large enterprise data source.
  • Bonus: MCP, A2A, or similar interoperability standards; Promptfoo, Braintrust, or Langfuse; and Inngest or Temporal.
  • Bonus: experience running hundreds or thousands of concurrent agent instances, multi-tenant data isolation with PostgreSQL and RLS, or maintaining a strong customer-data security posture.
  • Bonus: founder or founding-engineer experience or contributions to open-source agent or LLM tooling.

Benefits
