Software Engineer, Windows AI Automation

What to expect

We're solving one of the most interesting problems in AI today: building reliable, deterministic execution on top of non-deterministic AI models. The desktop is the most challenging frontier of computer use automation. Modern enterprise environments mix legacy Win32 software, Citrix virtual desktops, and modern .NET applications, each requiring a different approach to perception and control.

What you'll do

• Lead our desktop automation platform, setting technical direction across the desktop controller, the VM platform, and server-side AI execution
• Build and operate the desktop controller and the Windows VM fleet it runs on: session management, remote access, screen capture, and integration with the AI pipeline
• Move across the Windows / .NET stack and Linux server-side as the project demands, partnering with backend & AI-focused engineers as needed
• Drive reliability and observability across the desktop platform

What we're looking for

• You've shipped production software and are comfortable with Windows / .NET development, not afraid to drop into Win32 or COM when needed
• You're a generalist at heart, excited to move across different parts of the stack, with strong instincts about how to build in reliability and observability end-to-end
• You're interested in being in-person 5 days a week in our NY office (we'll cover relocation), or you have a proven track record of working remotely (self-motivated, proactive, and a great communicator)
