Full Job Description
đź“‹ Description
- • This is an early engineering hire on the Research team, focused on building the core infrastructure that powers agentic applications.
- • You'll design and own systems that govern agent coordination, evaluation, and continuous improvement — turning stochastic research prototypes into robust, observable, production-grade platforms.
- • The work sits at the intersection of distributed systems, machine intelligence, and product, and carries a high degree of ownership from day one.
- • The company operates in the AI/ML and agentic simulation space, building platforms that model goal-directed user behavior at scale for regulated, high-stakes industries such as healthcare, finance, and education.
- • This is a hybrid, on-site role based in San Francisco, CA.
- • Contribute as a Member of Technical Staff within the Research team, shaping agent systems architecture from the ground up.
- • Design and implement multi-agent system architectures — defining topologies, orchestration layers, tool registries, and scoped persistent state.
- • Build long-running, harness-based agent platforms rather than ad-hoc LLM API integrations.
- • Develop behavioral and persona models that simulate goal-directed user archetypes and enable agents to interact with real interfaces.
- • Implement critique and reflection loops that produce measurable, actionable agent behavior.
- • Create evaluation frameworks and prompt/reasoning schemas that measure fidelity, surface failure modes, and support both automated and human-in-the-loop (HITL) feedback.
- • Transform raw agent outputs into high-signal product insights by clustering observations, scoring severity, and mapping signals to product decisions.
- • Ensure production reliability through tracing, attribution, cost monitoring, fallbacks, circuit breakers, and evaluation pipelines.
- • Work closely with research and product to maintain tight research–product feedback loops and iterate rapidly.
🎯 Requirements
- • 5+ years of hands-on experience designing and implementing production-grade distributed systems and agent-based architectures (multi-agent topologies, orchestration, memory, tool registries, and execution).
- • 2+ years shipping agentic LLM systems in production environments.
- • Python mastery, including async programming and structured data modeling (e.g., Pydantic).
- • Experience building production ML systems: tracing, cost monitoring, failure detection, and robust fallbacks.
- • Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) for large-scale agent infrastructure.
- • Experience designing behavioral models, goal-directed simulations, evaluation frameworks, and HITL feedback mechanisms.
- • Ability to translate agent outputs into actionable product decisions; demonstrated experience building signal and insight systems.
- • Strong cross-functional communication skills; comfort collaborating across engineering, research, and product.
- • High ownership mindset and comfort operating in ambiguous, frontier problem spaces.
🏖️ Benefits
- • Salary: $180,000 – $250,000 USD annually.
- • Early-stage equity participation.
- • Backed at Series A/B stage with strong investor support.
