Staff Software Engineer, Agentic Tools

If You’ve Got It - We Want It

• Staff-level (or equivalent) professional software engineering experience building and operating production distributed systems
• Strong TypeScript (and modern JavaScript) plus Node.js experience shipping production services; polyglot comfort is welcome, TypeScript is the primary stack for this team
• Strong software engineering fundamentals and the ability to ship quickly: design, testing, debugging, APIs/services, and code quality
• You have lived (or thrived in) a continuous deployment culture: automated pipelines, progressive delivery or safe rollout, monitoring and rollback, and a bias toward frequent, reversible production changes rather than infrequent manual releases
• Hands-on fluency with modern LLM and agentic coding workflows in production or serious internal platforms (not curiosity-only)
• Experience building backend services, integrations, automation, and internal tools; comfort across product surfaces when needed
• Professional experience with agent orchestration, tool-calling systems, evaluation or guardrail techniques, and connecting agents to reliable backend systems
• Familiarity with agent frameworks, orchestration layers, and integrating external tools and data sources into LLM-based systems (MCP or equivalent experience is a plus)
• Experience with event-driven systems: queues, streams, pub/sub, webhooks, or similar async patterns in production
• Observability fluency: metrics, logs, traces, and using them to operate and improve production systems
• Clear communication, documentation, and teaching ability; comfort driving adoption, not only writing code
• Good judgment around security, permissions, data access, and safe tool rollout
• Ability to problem-solve from first principles, make sound trade-offs, and drive work independently through ambiguity
• Nice to have
• Hands-on Kubernetes in production
• Terraform or similar infrastructure-as-code for cloud provisioning
• Temporal or other workflow-platform experience
• Deeper AWS / cloud-native ops fluency (IAM, networking, running production workloads end to end)
• #LI-JB1 #LI-Remote
