  • Experience building and operating production LLM or AI agent systems that real users rely on.
  • Full-stack range across backend, infrastructure, and user interfaces, with the ability to take work from idea to production.
  • Experience making technical decisions in a small team, ideally as a founder, early hire, or technical lead.
  • Strong generalist engineering skills and familiarity with agent orchestration, memory, evaluation, verification, or multi-agent workflows.
  • Ability to explain complex technical decisions and deliver reliably at a fast pace. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Base salary is $150,000 to $250,000 annually, plus meaningful founding equity.
