AI Engineer, Agents and Evaluation

Key Responsibilities

• Build the agent orchestrator and the tool-routing logic at the heart of the system.
• Stand up and serve a self-hosted open-weights model on local hardware.
• Build the first verification gate and evaluation harness, making grounding mechanical rather than hopeful.
• Enforce strict routing so claims trace to a retrieved source or a deterministic computation.
• Wear several hats as a founding generalist and later hand specialties to dedicated hires.

Required Qualifications

• A track record shipping a real agent or tool-use system in production, not a demo.
• Genuine experience self-hosting open-weights models on your own GPUs, not only calling a hosted API.
• A habit of treating hallucination and tool-misuse as engineering problems with mechanical fixes.
• A builder-generalist range across orchestration, model serving, and evaluation.
• A self-starter who thrives amid ambiguity and rapid iteration.

Preferred Qualifications

• A scientific or physics background that makes our zero-fabrication standard second nature.
• Contributions to open-source serving or agent tooling such as vLLM, TGI, or agent frameworks.
• Experience building retrieval-augmented systems and evaluation suites.
• Prior work in deep tech R&D alongside interdisciplinary teams.

What We Offer

• Chance to solve one of the world's biggest engineering challenges and pioneer quantum energy storage.
• Competitive salary, equity in a transformative startup, and performance-based incentives.
• Access to cutting-edge labs, tools, and resources in a flexible, collaborative work environment.
• Comprehensive benefits: health insurance, unlimited PTO, professional development stipend, and relocation assistance if needed.
