Staff AI Agent Engineer
Role Overview
As a Staff AI Agent Engineer , you are a force multiplier for customer deployments and agent quality. You own complex customer launches end to end and turn hard, bespoke problems into repeatable patterns. You operate with strong judgment, raise the engineering bar in the work, and reduce dependency on leadership by owning outcomes directly.
This role is hands-on, customer-facing, and deeply technical. You are not a solutions engineer. You are an engineer who ships.

We've raised $72M to date, including a $50M Series B in October 2025, backed by top-tier venture firms.
