Job Description

About the Role

In this role you will build powerful tools that help product engineers iterate rapidly on the Agent experience and directly enhance the core Agent itself. You’ll bridge the gap between the AI team (working on the core Agent logic) and the UX team (crafting delightful Agent experiences), enabling both groups to excel within their specialties.

This role blends systems engineering, developer experience and product engineering. We tackle complex challenges across the full stack, from browser-based interfaces to high-performance backends to Linux systems engineering. We’re looking for engineers who have a keen sense of the product experience and how to power it with performant systems.

Responsibilities

  • Build high-throughput backend applications and services, like streaming chat between user and agent.
  • Design a collaborative "Multiplayer Computer" that lets humans and AI agents work together on shared shells, filesystems, and state—conflict-free and in real time.
  • Develop infrastructure (frontend & backend) that empowers product engineers to rapidly ship delightful user experiences.
  • Design and build durable, well-crafted interfaces between the Agent and internal systems, as well as external agentic systems (MCP)

Required Skills and Experience

  • 5+ years professional experience in building backend services, systems and platforms
  • Someone who values simplicity and pragmatism—you think radically but ship incrementally.
  • Self-directed and comfortable working autonomously.
  • Collaborative and team-oriented with a strong sense of shared ownership.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience across the full-stack.
  • Experience building AI powered tooling or products.
  • Experience with collaborative editing technologies such as Operational Transforms (OT), CRDTs, or the inner workings of Git.
  • Experience with event sourcing systems.

What We Value

  • Problem-solving mindset: Ability to approach complex operational challenges systematically and devise effective solutions
  • Self-directed and autonomous: Capable of working independently while collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams
  • Strong communication skills: Ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Continuous learning: Passion for staying current with industry best practices and new technologies
  • Focus on automation: Strong belief in automating repetitive tasks and building self-healing systems

Full-Time Employee Benefits Include:

  • Competitive Salary & Equity
  • 401(k) Program with a 4% match
  • Health, Dental, Vision and Life Insurance
  • Short Term and Long Term Disability
  • Paid Parental, Medical, Caregiver Leave
  • Commuter Benefits
  • Monthly Wellness Stipend
  • Autonomous Work Environment
  • In Office Set-Up Reimbursement
  • Flexible Time Off (FTO) + Holidays
  • Quarterly Team Gatherings
  • In Office Amenities
