About the role
Key Responsibilities
Own technical architecture for agentic systems—orchestration, tool use, memory, retrieval, evaluation, observability, and guardrails
Build and harden the reasoning layer and infrastructure that take customer data from ingestion through agent-driven reasoning to root-cause insight
Establish rigorous evaluation and testing for non-deterministic systems—measuring agent accuracy against expert-validated ground truth
Partner across Engineering and Product to shape the technical vision and roadmap for the agent platform
Raise engineering standards through code review, design docs, and technical direction
Mentor engineers on agentic patterns and system design
Requirements
Minimum 7+ years of software engineering experience, with recent, hands-on focus on building agentic systems (LLM orchestration, tool/function calling, multi-step and multi-agent reasoning, retrieval and context engineering, and interoperability protocols such as MCP)
Demonstrated ability to design and own complex distributed systems, ideally in data-intensive B2B SaaS environments
Hands-on fluency with the modern agentic stack and strong intuition for failure modes of non-deterministic, LLM-driven systems
Experience turning messy, heterogeneous real-world data into something a model can reason over reliably
Track record of technical mentorship
Strong executor in fast-paced environments who can balance shipping MVPs with production-grade systems
Nice-to-Haves / Culture Fit
Thrives in early-stage companies
"Data First" philosophy
Comfortable with ambiguity and fast-moving situations
