Job Description

About the Role

Join the engineering team as a founding-level engineer responsible for the agent layer at a flexible-work marketplace and SaaS company. You will build production agent systems that connect with real-world business workflows, set patterns for how agents are built and improved, and work closely with company leadership.

What You'll Do

  • Own the agent layer end to end, including context systems, self-learning, evaluations, the agent harness, and the meta-harness.

  • Build a knowledge base that accumulates information about undocumented systems and improves future integrations.

  • Develop workflows that detect production failures, diagnose causes, and recover autonomously.

  • Establish how agents are built, measured, and improved across the platform.

  • Create tools and processes that enable teams to build, evaluate, and evolve agents quickly.

  • Help grow the team and take on increasing leadership of agentic systems.

What We're Looking For

  • Two to nine years of professional software engineering experience, with a degree completed or in progress in engineering, computer science, or a quantitative field.

  • Recent experience building and shipping agentic software in production, ideally in an early-stage startup environment.

  • Strong experience with context engineering, evaluation-driven iteration, agent tracing, and production agent harnesses.

  • Experience building systems that learn from accumulated knowledge or autonomously detect, diagnose, and recover from failures.

  • Familiarity with TypeScript, Effect-TS, PostgreSQL, large language models, and agent evaluation tools.

Compensation & Benefits

Annual salary range: $150,000 to $300,000 USD. Visa sponsorship is available, including O-1 sponsorship.

Location

On-site in San Francisco, California, five days per week. US-based candidates with a concrete relocation plan to San Francisco may also be considered.
