About the Role

We are looking for engineers who build and operate LLM agents in production, and who have real visibility into how agents are actually used inside a company. You have probably: We are especially interested in the layers most people do not talk about: internal monoagents wired into company data, shared company memory, reusable skills and playbooks, the tool and MCP surfaces agents call, and how anyone sees what agents did and what they cost.

What You'll Do

  • Shipped an agent that real users depended on, and been on the hook when it broke.
  • Figured out how to tell whether an agent got better or worse after a change.
  • Run agents that outlive a single request: scheduled jobs, long-running work, cloud sandboxes.
  • Watched your org build an internal assistant, and seen who adopted it and who quietly did not.
