What you'll do
- Own the AI foundation product teams build on: model selection and routing, the model proxy layer, context management, and tool design
- Own eval infrastructure; work with customers and finance domain experts to define what excellent output looks like, then encode it in evals every team can run
- Ship agentic features end to end, from v0 through the optimization loop: prompt and context engineering, caching, parallel tool calls, subagent patterns
- Build observability into agent behavior so we can profile it, find bottlenecks, and decide what to fix with data
- Track what's changing in agentic systems and bring the practices that prove out into how we build
What we're looking for
- You've shipped production LLM systems - evals, context management, multi-model or multi-provider routing - and can talk concretely about what broke and what you changed
- You build proof of concepts, decide quickly, and ship v0s; evals drive your quality bar
- Strong judgment about abstractions: opinionated about design, pragmatic about shipping incrementally
- Experience with LLM APIs and agent frameworks, and shipped user-facing products
- You want to ship production systems, not do research
- Adoption: teams you don't manage have picked up systems you built
- Strong fundamentals: you can trace requests from UI to data store and make good technical decisions at every layer
- High agency: background as a founder, engineering lead, or startup builder
- Pragmatism: you choose the fewest and simplest tools that will actually work
- Craft: you care deeply about code quality and write code that's correct and easy to understand
- Communication: clear, direct, and persuasive across technical and non-technical audiences
- Experience: you've built complex B2B products, ideally from scratch
