Architect and build scalable, durable systems for customer pilots, translating complex requirements into production implementations.

Develop and maintain backend services, APIs, and integrations that extend an AI agent platform.

Build secure, reliable integrations with external systems, emphasizing observability and maintainability.

Turn customer needs and edge cases into reusable product capabilities.

Own deployments from initial architecture through launch, scaling, and ongoing optimization.

Partner with customers and internal teams to solve high-impact problems and deliver solutions quickly.

Help establish the practices and direction of a growing deployment engineering function.

What We're Looking For

At least 2 years of software engineering experience, with strong backend engineering fundamentals and experience shipping production systems.

Experience building APIs and integrations with third-party or enterprise systems.

Customer-facing engineering experience in implementations, pilots, solutions engineering, or similar work, or a clear interest in moving into this kind of role.

Strong communication skills with both technical and business stakeholders.

Ability to work independently and adapt in fast-moving, ambiguous environments, ideally including startup or 0-to-1 settings.

Exposure to AI or LLM systems, agent-based architectures, or automation platforms is a plus.

A degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics, or physics, or equivalent technical experience.

Must be authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.
