## Job Description
## What You'll Do

### Within days
- Ship AI agent features that help Sphere's engineering team use agents more effectively and responsibly.
- Iterate on versions of Sphere's agent sandbox environments.
- Create workflows where agents can inspect the codebase, run local infrastructure, make changes, run tests, and prepare work for human review.
- Work directly with engineers to identify high-leverage internal workflows where agents can create immediate velocity.

### Within months
- Lead Sphere's internal efforts to enable AI agents to act more autonomously across engineering, ops, customer success, tax research, and implementation.
- Build "Goose" for Sphere: the internal AI agent layer that helps agents understand and operate across Sphere's systems.
- Own the infrastructure, tooling, and workflows that let agents safely take on more complex internal work over time.
- Establish the patterns for how Sphere uses agents internally, including context, permissions, review, observability, and escalation.

## Requirements
- Experience building production-quality software.
- Experience in AI agents, coding agents, internal developer tooling, or AI agent enablement.
- Comfort working across backend systems, infrastructure, local development environments, CI, and internal tools.
- Strong judgment around autonomy, safety, permissions, and human review.
- High agency. You can take a vague internal problem and turn it into a working system people actually use.
- Strong attention to detail. Agents are only useful here if they improve speed without reducing correctness.
