Job description

This is a hands-on engineering role inside the Product organization, building agents and internal apps for product managers, marketers and designers. A strong candidate writes real production code in Python or TypeScript, listens past what a teammate asks for to find the actual problem, and has shipped tools that non-technical people kept using. Comfort with loose requirements and owning work from start to finish matters as much as technical skill.

How it fits the AI era

The job is itself about AI: agents, retrieval, evals and monitoring replace repetitive tasks so colleagues can focus on decisions and customer conversations. AI coding tools speed up the building, which makes fast prototypes and same-day fixes realistic. What stays human is deciding where automation is worth it, understanding what teammates really need, and taking responsibility for quality when others depend on the tool.

How it builds AI experience

Someone in this role would work daily with current frontier models, MCP connections, retrieval, evals and observability, applied to a company that traces crypto-linked crime for investigators. Customer insight and product data would be the raw material, so the experience is in building agents that people rely on every week. To prepare, build and publish a small agent that solves a real workflow problem, and add basic evals and logging to it.

Worth showing

• Production Python or TypeScript code
• Agent built with MCP and retrieval
• Evals and observability in practice
• Tool adopted by non-technical users
• Daily Claude Code or Cursor use
