About the role

What You'll Own

Building and shipping AI agents

  • Design, build, and ship agentic systems that automate and augment complex audit workflows
  • Translate customer problems into concrete agent behaviors and workflows
  • Integrate and orchestrate LLMs, tools, retrieval systems, and logic into cohesive, reliable agent experiences
  • Own agents in production, including performance and observability

AI-native engineering execution

  • Use AI as core leverage in how you design, build, test, and iterate
  • Prototype quickly to resolve uncertainty, then harden systems for enterprise-grade reliability
  • Build evaluations, feedback mechanisms, and guardrails so agents improve over time
  • Design prompts, retrieval pipelines, and agent orchestration systems that perform reliably at scale

Product judgment and customer impact

  • Make tradeoffs about what to build, what to cut, and what not to build at all
  • Partner closely with Product and Design to define agent capabilities that drive real customer outcomes
  • Stay deeply connected to how customers actually use agents and optimize for the highest impact problems
  • Identify the highest-leverage capability gaps and unblock them without waiting for direction

Ownership of large product areas

  • Take full ownership of large product areas rather than executing on narrow tasks
  • Identify bottlenecks and unblock progress without waiting for direction
  • Increase team velocity by building reusable abstractions, tools, and patterns for agent development

Who You Are

Strong software engineer with AI-native instincts, bias to building, strong product judgment, learning velocity, grounded optimism, and end-to-end thinking.

Experience

  • Multiple years of experience shipping production software in complex, real-world systems
  • Experience with TypeScript, React, Python, and Postgres
  • Built and deployed LLM-powered features serving production traffic
  • Designed retrieval pipelines and agent orchestration systems
  • Implemented evaluation frameworks for model outputs and agent behaviors
  • Worked with vector databases, embedding models, and RAG architectures
  • Hands-on experience with modern LLM APIs (OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, etc.) and agent frameworks
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity and taking responsibility for outcomes
  • Deep empathy for professional-grade, mission-critical software

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation packages with equity ownership
  • Comprehensive health and wellness benefits
  • Flexible time off and work schedules
  • Technology reimbursements
  • 401(k) plan
  • Twice-yearly in-person offsites across the U.S.
