Job description

Salary: $90,000 - 130,000 per year

Requirements

• We bring at least 2 years of experience in backend engineering, AI automation, or complex systems integration.
• We have demonstrated success building and maintaining production-ready software with clear modular boundaries, such as separate services for parsing, business logic, and reporting.
• We are proficient in at least two major programming languages, such as Python, JavaScript, Go, or Java, and we have experience working with SQL databases.
• We have practical experience delivering solutions in live, non-simulated environments and managing multi-step system interactions.
• We are highly detail-oriented and able to deliver concise, high-signal technical feedback on sophisticated system behavior.
• We bring additional strength in designing multi-stage coordination workflows where information gathering leads to reasoned output.
• We have hands-on experience connecting agents to live tools and APIs, such as Supabase and Gmail, to solve real-world use cases.
• We are comfortable implementing persistent state and session tracking using MEMORY.md to monitor agent progress.
• We can identify subtle issues such as privacy leakage, authority escalation, and indirect prompt injection.

Responsibilities

• We help train advanced generative systems by providing high-quality human feedback.
• We collaborate with leading AI teams to improve large language models so they can operate as proactive, multi-step agents.
