- Develop risk and legitimacy scoring from web-presence signals for downstream underwriting.
- Build and evolve shared agent infrastructure, including provider-agnostic base agents, tool registries, evaluation harnesses, and token/tool tracing instrumentation.
- Own model selection, agent design, prompt and tool engineering, evaluation methodology, and cost control.

## Requirements
- Production experience shipping LLM-driven agents with real users, costs, failure modes, and on-call responsibility.
- Strong asynchronous Python, structured-data libraries, modern web frameworks, and relational databases.
- Experience with multiple frontier LLM providers and at least one agent framework.
- Experience developing evaluation methodology, including curated golden datasets, scoring functions, labeling guidelines, and regression diagnostics.
- Browser automation experience, including headless browsers, anti-bot evasion, and authenticated flows.
- Knowledge of structured-output approaches, including JSON Schema mode, function calling, and text extractors.

## Nice to Have
- Web scraping at scale, residential proxies, request fingerprinting, CDN defeats, and authenticated flows.
- Evaluation frameworks such as LangSmith, Braintrust, or Evals.
- Entity resolution, record linkage, and fuzzy matching at scale.
- Browser automation using the DevTools Protocol.
- Tool registry or toolset abstractions spanning multiple LLM providers.
- Cost and latency optimization, including response caching, semantic caching, model routing, thinking-budget tuning, and prompt-cache optimization.

## Compensation and Benefits
- Salary: $230,000–$340,000 annually, plus equity.
- Flexible paid time off.
- 100% company-paid health, dental, and vision premiums.
