Full Job Description
đź“‹ Description
- • We're a small, ambitious team building applied AI systems at the intersection of private market investing and cutting-edge model capabilities.
- • This is an early- to mid-career role for a software engineer who wants to own production systems end to end — shipping agent-powered features, full-stack applications, and durable workflows that turn improving model capabilities into dependable, economically valuable tools.
- • You'll work in person with a tight-knit team in San Francisco, take on substantial ownership from day one, and help shape both the technical foundation and engineering culture of a high-conviction company backed by top-tier investors.
- • You'll build and operate production systems spanning agent architectures, full-stack applications, durable workflows, and data infrastructure.
- • You'll own system design, deployment, and iteration for agent-powered features from concept to production.
- • You'll evaluate new models, frameworks, tool-use patterns, and context strategies — then productionize the improvements that matter.
- • You'll build evaluation pipelines, observability tooling, and human-review systems to make agent behavior measurable and reliable.
- • You'll develop durable workflows and data infrastructure covering tool coordination, context management, state, retries, and failure recovery.
- • You'll design and implement interfaces that make complex agent workflows clear, fast, and intuitive for end users.
- • You'll lead substantial cross-functional projects across product, agents, data, and infrastructure — and receive direct user feedback on your work.
- • You'll contribute meaningfully to engineering culture and technical direction on a small, high-ownership team.
🎯 Requirements
- • A few years of software engineering experience with strong fundamentals and a proven track record of shipping production systems.
- • Hands-on experience building and operating human-in-the-loop evaluation and review systems to monitor and improve agent behavior.
- • Experience designing and implementing evaluations and metrics to measure model performance, reliability, and production impact of AI agents.
- • Strong ownership mindset with demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional projects across product, data, and infrastructure.
- • Experience building full-stack applications and owning features end to end.
- • Direct experience with LLM applications, agents, tool use, or other applied AI systems.
🏖️ Benefits
- • Salary: $150,000 – $250,000 USD annually, depending on experience.
- • Equity participation in a well-backed, early-stage company.
- • Direct impact on a small team where your work is immediately visible and consequential.
