  • Improve the product experience so AI agents are both reliable and easy for engineers to use.
  • Develop systems that automatically evaluate LLM outputs and advance agentic reasoning using self-play and feedback loops.
  • Create machine learning pipelines, including data ingestion, feature generation, embedding stores, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), vector search, and graph databases.
  • Prototype with open-source and new LLMs, comparing their strengths and weaknesses.
  • Build scalable infrastructure for long-running, multi-step agents, with attention to memory, state, and asynchronous workflows.

What We Look For

  • Over five years of relevant professional or open-source experience.
  • Comfort working in environments with uncertainty and evolving challenges.
  • Strong product focus and a drive for customer satisfaction.
  • Interest in large language models (LLMs), Model Control Planes (MCPs), cloud infrastructure, and observability tools.
