The Role

We are seeking a Software Engineer, AI to build the next generation of AI-powered applications. This is a builder role. You will design and ship production-grade, agentic systems that deliver real user value — not prototypes or demos.

You will operate at the intersection of AI, product, and engineering, taking ambiguous ideas and turning them into scalable, user-facing experiences. From document understanding to multi-step workflows, your work will directly shape how users interact with AI.

What You Will Do:

Own problems end-to-end

• Take loosely defined ideas and turn them into shipped, production features

• Make architectural decisions across AI systems, backend, and frontend

Build real AI products (not demos)

• Design, build, and deploy production-grade systems leveraging LLMs

• Own systems that handle real user traffic, constraints, and failure modes

Develop agentic systems

• Build multi-step workflows with reasoning, tool use, and structured outputs

• Design systems that balance autonomy, control, and reliability

Design AI-native user experiences

• Build AI-native interfaces (agentic UIs) where users collaborate with AI

• Implement streaming, feedback loops, and iterative workflows

Work with tools / skills (AI capabilities)

• Integrate and compose tools (“skills”) such as APIs, retrieval systems, and external actions

• Design product features that leverage these capabilities effectively within agent workflows

• Collaborate with AI Infrastructure to improve tool interfaces and behavior

Drive quality and performance

• Build evaluation and feedback loops

• Implement guardrails and monitoring

• Optimize for latency, cost, and accuracy

Work across the stack

• Backend services, APIs, data pipelines, and frontend experiences

• Ship quickly and iterate based on real usage

Qualifications:

• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience

• Strong software engineering fundamentals (system design, data structures, clean code)

• Proven track record of building and shipping production systems

• Proficiency in Python and/or TypeScript. Must be comfortable working across a polyglot stack, picking up new languages and frameworks as needed

• Experience building AI-powered applications in production

• Hands-on experience with agentic or multi-step AI systems

• Experience working with APIs or tool integrations within AI systems

• Ability to operate in ambiguous, fast-moving environments

Preferred Qualifications (Bonus Points):

• Experience building end-to-end agentic applications

• Experience with:

  • Agent frameworks (LangGraph, LangChain, etc.)

  • Evaluation / observability systems

  • RAG systems and vector databases

• Experience with cloud infrastructure, preferably AWS or GCP.

• Experience in regulated domains (finance, legal, real estate, healthcare, etc.)

Benefits & Perks

• Competitive salary.

• Hybrid work arrangement in the New York area

• Excellent medical, dental, and vision insurance options, with low-cost premium structures that demonstrate our commitment to offering great value to our employees.

• 100% company-paid basic life insurance, short-term and long-term disability insurance.

• 100% paid parental leave upon eligibility.

• Company equity managed through Carta.

• 401k with match and 100% vesting upon hire.

• Flexible PTO in an environment where taking time off to relax or recharge is supported and encouraged.

• Take time off for holidays—and yes, your birthday counts too. Celebrate, relax, and recharge without thinking twice.
