The team and opportunity

The Agent Systems team builds internal AI-powered agents that interact with company systems to increase execution speed through automation, inference, and workflow orchestration.

The work combines AI, backend systems, and applied product engineering; prototypes move toward production with a high reliability bar.

The engineer partners with product, infrastructure, and internal operations to deploy agent capabilities.

Responsibilities

  • Build AI-powered agents that automate internal workflows and decision paths.
  • Design inference pipelines reasoning over user interactions across internal systems.
  • Prototype and validate agent behaviors, then productionize useful approaches.
  • Architect backend services integrating internal APIs and data sources.
  • Define safe, observable, controllable agent-execution patterns.
  • Identify automation opportunities with cross-functional partners.
  • Improve speed, reliability, and signal quality as usage scales.
  • Contribute foundational design decisions for a 0→1 agent platform.

Required qualifications

  • At least 5 years building and shipping production software systems.
  • Strong backend fundamentals in APIs, distributed systems, data modeling, and reliability.
  • Experience building full-stack systems, including backend and occasional frontend work.
  • Production hands-on experience with AI/ML systems, LLMs, or inference pipelines.
  • Ability to prototype rapidly while preserving a path to production-grade architecture.
  • Systems thinking across orchestration, failure modes, and observability; comfort in ambiguous 0→1 environments with high ownership.

Nice to have

  • Experience with agent-based systems or autonomous workflows.
  • Familiarity with prompt engineering, evaluation frameworks, or model performance tuning.
  • Experience integrating enterprise systems such as CRM, support tools, or analytics platforms.
  • Background in developer platforms or internal tooling.
  • Experience designing AI guardrails, sandboxing, or safety layers.
