  • Ship improvements regularly to customers using the product in real businesses.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • At least 2 years of experience shipping production software, or an equivalent track record as a founder, solo builder, or exceptional early-career engineer.
  • Experience building and operating LLM or AI agent systems used by real customers.
  • Full-stack range, including the ability to work across backend services, infrastructure, and user interfaces.
  • Experience scaling a working product and making technical decisions with a high degree of ownership.
  • Familiarity with agent orchestration, memory, evaluations, verification, or multi-agent workflows is valuable.
  • A track record of shipping quickly and explaining the technical challenges behind systems you have built.
