We're looking for someone with software engineering experience of 6+ years, with hands-on experience building LLM-powered or agent-based systems in production.

Technical Skills

- Solid software engineering fundamentals: system design, API design, data modelling, and clean, maintainable code.

- Experience building and running production systems in the cloud (AWS, GCP, or Azure), including containers, Kubernetes or similar, and infrastructure as code.

- Hands-on experience with distributed systems: queues, async workflows, concurrency, reliability, and failure handling.

- Practical experience building with LLMs: tool use, agents, prompt and context engineering, RAG, and evaluation.

- Familiarity with agent protocols and ecosystems (e.g., MCP) and with using AI coding tools day to day.

Leadership & Ownership

- Comfort working independently and handling ambiguity: you can take a loosely defined problem, scope it, and drive it to production.

- Explicit written and verbal communication,



including explaining trade-offs to both technical and non-technical audiences.

- At the senior level, we also expect you to lead projects and set technical direction, mentor other engineers, define evaluation and quality standards, and influence architecture across teams.

Mindset & Collaboration

- Growth mindset curious, always learning, and open to feedback.

- Works closely with the engineers who use these tools every day; you help the whole organization build software better and faster.

Nice to Have

- Experience with trace analysis or log mining to find and fix agent failure modes.

- Experience building internal platforms or SDKs that other teams adopted.

- Background in observability, CI/CD, or developer productivity tooling.

- Experience with model routing, cost optimization, or prompt caching.

- Open-source or public contributions in agent tooling or LLM infrastructure.
