On-siteEngineering$150k–$220k/yrFull-time

Job Responsibilities

  • Design and build mission-critical infrastructure for agent memory, logging, security, and observability
  • Write robust Python (and some TypeScript) to power low-latency, fault-tolerant, agentic workflows that can recover from UI changes and session timeouts
  • Build the communication layer that allows AI Teammates to proactively flag exceptions and collaborate with humans in real-time
  • Own the end-to-end reliability of agents navigating 'messy' legacy software without APIs
  • Make key decisions on testing, CI/CD, and monitoring pipelines from scratch
  • Work on a platform designed to scale across diverse industries—from Healthcare and Insurance to Finance and beyond

Qualifications

  • Proficiency with Python (async, testing, deployment) and modern development tooling is essential
  • You have built and maintained production systems end-to-end—from initial architecture to deployment and refactor
  • You enjoy ambiguous environments where you are trusted to figure out the 'how' and 'why.'
  • You understand the trade-offs in system design and can build systems that are simple yet resilient
  • You approach code with a sense of ownership, urgency, and comfort with the 'chaos' of a 0-to-1 startup

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with agentic frameworks, browser automation (Playwright/Puppeteer), or web-scraping at scale
  • Experience in secure data processing (SOC 2, HIPAA environments)
  • Prior startup/founding experience or significant open-source contributions
