Job description

• Own the build out of new agents, skills, and platform capability for teams across TLDR.
• Build and deploy agents end to end, from design through implementation, evals, and rollout to internal users.
• Write the evals and specs that define what good looks like, so workflow quality is measurable rather than anecdotal.

What Success Looks Like:

• Every workflow at the company improves as model capabilities improve.
• Teams write specs and evals and define what good looks like, rather than executing manually.
• Work becomes increasingly push vs pull, by default work is done by LLMs and humans are brought in as needed.

About You:

• 5+ years experience including 2+ years building products and systems with LLMs, with at least one agent you took to production and still own.
• You code fluently with AI tools like Claude Code or Codex.
• You write evals as part of building, not after.

Why You'll Love It:

• Compensation includes base salary plus annual company performance bonus.
• 100% remote across the US and Canada with tier-1 city rates.
• Flexible PTO, comprehensive health benefits, 401(k), paid parental leave, and home office stipend.
