Ideal candidate

A high-ownership backend builder who thrives in ambiguity and loves shipping production agent systems end to end, partnering closely with product and researchers to decide where agents help and humans belong.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional backend engineering experience
• Strong fundamentals in distributed systems, service architecture, data modeling, and API design at scale
• Hands-on experience building with LLMs in production — agents, tool use, retrieval, or evaluation systems — or a clear track record of learning new systems fast and shipping them
• Comfort with ambiguity: agent systems fail in ways traditional services don't, and the right design is rarely obvious upfront
• A track record of owning systems end to end, from design through production operation
• Fluent in using modern AI development tools (e.g. Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar) to improve engineering productivity
• Strong opinions, loosely held: you drive alignment through technical judgment and clear writing, not authority
• Excellent communication skills — able to make complex tradeoffs legible to both engineers and leadership
• High ownership, pragmatism, and a bias toward shipping
