Position Summary...
What youll do...
As a Staff Software Engineer (AI Systems & Agentic Platforms) you will design and build next-generation intelligent systems that blend software models and automation into cohesive adaptive platforms.Your mission is to create deployable self-improving systemssoftware that can reason generate evaluate and iteratively improve its own outputs. You will focus on building agent-driven systems evaluation frameworks and protocol-based integrations (MCP) that enable seamless interaction between models tools and real-world workflows.
About the team
Our team operates at the intersection of software engineering AI systems and rapid experimentation. We build platforms that enable intelligent automation at scaleranging from agent orchestration to developer-facing AI systems.
We emphasize iteration speed practical impact and systems that learn from usage not just static training. The work often involves ambiguous problem spaces where we define patterns as we build them.
What youll do
Design and build end-to-end agentic systems capable of multi-step reasoning planning and tool execution.
Develop AI-assisted development workflows that accelerate how software is written tested and iterated.
Build agent evaluation frameworks (offline online) to measure quality reliability and system behavior.
Implement feedback-driven systems that continuously improve outputs using real-world signals.
Architect and integrate MCP-based systems to standardize interactions between models tools and services.
Develop multi-agent workflows with coordination delegation and dynamic task execution.
Build scalable services (APIs pipelines event-driven systems) supporting real-time and batch use cases.
Introduce patterns for observability debugging and traceability in AI-driven systems.
Rapidly prototype and iterate on new system behaviors workflows and interaction models.
Contribute to shaping engineering practices for AI-native application development.
What youll bring
Experience building production systems that integrate AI/ML components into real-world applications.Familiarity with LLM-based systems agent workflows or tool-augmented models.
Hands-on work with evaluation feedback loops or iterative system improvement.
Ability to design and ship end-to-end solutions quickly balancing experimentation with reliability.
Comfort working in open-ended problem spaces with evolving requirements.
Proficiency in Python and modern backend development with an emphasis on building usable systems.
Experience integrating external tools APIs or structured data into intelligent workflows.
Strong ownership mindset with a focus on shipping learning and improving systems continuously.
Bonus / Signals we value
Experience building AI-powered developer tools or automation systems.Work on agent frameworks orchestration layers or evaluation harnesses.
Familiarity with protocol-driven systems (e.g. MCP or similar abstractions).
Interest in human-AI interaction rapid prototyping or unconventional system design.
