About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Ship agent systems that run business operations autonomously—OKR execution, MBR/WBR cadences, Auto-Pilot workflows—at enterprise reliability.
Own features end-to-end from customer problem to production. Discovery, design, implementation, measurement.
Design multi-agent architectures that balance capability and reliability. Decide when to use what—models, orchestration patterns, evals.
Build the chat-native experiences users depend on every day. Product sensibility matters as much as systems design.
Push the AI stack forward. We use Claude Code and Cursor, ship AI features weekly, and rewrite our approach as the models improve.

Requirements

What you’ll need

2–5 years building production software, with hands-on experience shipping LLMs, agents, or AI-native applications in production—not demos.
Strong in Python, comfortable in React/Next.js. You've worked on distributed systems.
You start with the customer problem, not the technology. You make tradeoffs for user impact, not architectural elegance.
You've shipped agent systems that work in production—you know the gap between a working prototype and something enterprises can run on.
You move fast, iterate in production, and don't need a PRD to figure out what to build next.
You operate like an owner—you see what needs to move, make the call, own the outcome.
You're already building with the newest models. You can't imagine going back.
