About the role
What you may work on
Eval systems that run millions of agent trajectories to measure model and product quality.
Fine-tuning pipelines that turn evaluation signals into measurable agent improvements.
Agent-first product surfaces: UX and infrastructure for workflows where the user is a model or an agent operator.
The systems behind hundreds of thousands of AI interviews used to source and match freelance workers to projects.
Infrastructure that scales to the throughput frontier labs actually need.
Integration of the latest models and capabilities into production within days of release.
What we're looking for
4+ year track record of shipping systems customers and other engineers rely on
You build full stack prototypes fast and they hold up. The v1 you ship becomes the foundation the rest of the team builds on.
Strong system and API design judgement
Hard architecture and product calls land with you. You make them, defend them under pressure, and update fast when someone else is right.
You ship production code with coding agents daily. You know where they break and what it takes to make them reliable to further accelerate the team's velocity.
You set direction by being the example. Other engineers reach for your designs and your code as the reference.
You move fast in ambiguous, startup-pace environments with influence over authority.
You have worked in all parts of the stack
Deep proficiency in TypeScript and/or Python.
Nice to have
Production experience building LLM- or agent-driven products.
Designing evaluations for LLMs and agents, or producing high-quality data for ML systems.
Background in production distributed systems, ML infrastructure, or data systems at scale.
Our Technology Stack
Frontend: React.js with Redux, TypeScript
Backend: Node.js, TypeScript, Python, some Java & Kotlin
APIs: GraphQL
Cloud & Infrastructure: Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Kubernetes
Senior individual contributor architecting and scaling agentic LLM systems that turn messy manufacturing data into reliable root-cause insights. Owns orchestration, retrieval, evaluation, and guardrails for non-deterministic production systems.
