Responsibilities
- Architect agents: tools, memory, planning loops, escalation, and guardrails.
- Build evaluation suites and trace-based observability for agent behavior.
- Integrate agents with client systems via scoped, secure APIs.
- Continuously improve agent quality against measurable success criteria.
What we're looking for
- Deep experience with LLM application development and agentic patterns.
- Strong software engineering background — agents are software, not prompts.
- Opinionated about safety, cost control, and human-in-the-loop design.
- Comfort operating in ambiguous, client-facing environments.
Four steps. No gauntlet.
We hire for senior judgment, not stamina. The process is short, transparent, and built to respect your time.
Intro call
30 minutes
A short conversation with the hiring lead. We talk through the role, your background, and what you're looking for — no trick questions, no whiteboard.
Practical conversation
60–90 minutes
A working session with two people from the team. We discuss a real problem we've solved recently and how you'd approach it. This is where senior judgment shows up.
Reference & background
A few days
We ask for a couple of references — people you've shipped with, not people you've managed. We move quickly and keep it lightweight.
Offer
Within two weeks
If the fit is right on both sides, we make an offer. We're transparent about compensation, level, and the work you'd start on — before you sign.
Senior peers. Hard problems. Calm operating norms.
You'll work directly with partners and principals — the people who scope the engagement and ship the work. There is no junior layer between you and the problem, and no middle-management layer between you and the decision.
We're remote-first, with quiet, well-run operating norms: written-first communication, async by default, synchronous when it matters, and on-call rotations that are taken seriously rather than worn as a badge.
We expect you to push back when something is wrong — technically, commercially, or ethically. The work has to be defensible, and so does the word. That is the job.
