ABOUT THE ROLE
Full 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.
