Job summary

Whirl AI, Inc. is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to own the engineering behind our AI agents and data infrastructure. You are a backend-leaning generalist who ships reliable systems and makes pragmatic decisions as an early team member.

The role focuses on building agent tooling, orchestration layers, and scalable data ingestion, with a stack including React/TypeScript, Python, and PostgreSQL. Remote-eligible for US candidates, with offices in SF for Bay Area applicants.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, including time as a tech lead or staff-level engineer.
• Hands-on production experience building with LLMs or AI APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.).
• Experience with agent frameworks, tool-calling systems, or AI orchestration layers.
• Strong backend fundamentals with full stack capability (React/TypeScript, Python, PostgreSQL).
• Startup experience strongly preferred; large-company candidates welcome if you’ve operated with real IC ownership and high autonomy.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain agent tooling: the tools, actions, and APIs that our AI agents use to operate.
• Develop agent orchestration systems that coordinate multi-step, multi-agent workflows reliably.
• Own data ingestion pipelines that bring customer data into our platform cleanly and at scale.
• Integrate AI APIs and third-party services, selecting the right building blocks rather than rebuilding from scratch.
