Founding Engineer, Agentic Systems

Your tasks

Join the engineering team at an agentic integration platform for real-world operations and own the agent layer end to end. You will build production systems that help agents understand undocumented environments, recover from failures, and improve through accumulated knowledge.

• Build context and self-learning systems that improve agent performance as they encounter more integrations.
• Develop self-healing workflows that detect production failures, diagnose causes, and recover autonomously.
• Own the agent harness and meta-harness, enabling teams to build, evaluate, and evolve agents quickly.
• Set engineering patterns for building, measuring, and improving agents across the platform.
• Work closely with company leadership, experiment rapidly, and help grow the team responsible for agentic systems.

Requirements

• Two to nine years of professional software engineering experience, with recent experience building agentic software.
• A completed or in-progress engineering, computer science, or quantitative degree from a top-250 technical university; a top-50 university is strongly preferred.
• Experience as a founder of a startup that raised outside funding or hired a full-time employee, or as an engineer at a pre-seed, seed, or Series A startup backed by a top-tier venture firm.
• Hands-on experience with context engineering, reusable agent harnesses, agent tracing, evaluations, and production failure detection, diagnosis, or recovery.
• Experience shipping working production systems, rather than research alone. Familiarity with TypeScript, Effect-TS, PostgreSQL, LLMs, and agent evaluation is relevant.
