Location: SF or Palo Alto

Team: R&D – Agentic Systems & Tooling

About the Role

We are seeking experienced backend/AI engineers to join our technical staff. As part of the R&D team, you’ll work across multiple high-impact projects that advance the frontier of AI training, evaluation, and enterprise applications. This is a chance to join a fast-moving team building production-grade systems that combine cutting-edge AI with real-world usability.

What You’ll Work On

You will not be hired for a single project — instead, you’ll contribute across a portfolio of exciting initiatives, including:
Developing agents that generate synthetic data or review human-generated data.

• Building real-world reinforcement learning environments for model training and evaluation.
• Delivering end-to-end agentic solutions for enterprise customers.
• Developing internal tooling that enables humans and AI agents to collaborate at scale.

Responsibilities

• Design and build end-to-end systems spanning both front-end and back-end components.
• Develop scalable infrastructure to support agentic workflows, data pipelines, and evaluation.
• Rapidly prototype, test, and ship features in collaboration with cross-functional teams.
• Own projects from design through deployment with a strong focus on reliability and usability.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience: 4+ years as a backend engineer, with 2+ as an early engineer at a prominent AI product startup or equivalent environment.
• AI Engineering: Proficiency in modern GenAI and agentic technologies (langchain, RAG, etc).
• Portfolio: Demonstrated ability to build and ship real web applications. Must be able to showcase projects (e.g., personal site, GitHub, or screenshare).

Bonus Points

• Experience with agentic systems, RL environments, or AI/ML infrastructure.
• Contributions to open-source projects or personal AI/ML tooling.
• Strong product sense and ability to translate abstract ideas into user-facing solutions.
