Full Job Description
The Role

We're building a learning system that teaches AI agents how enterprises actually work. Our system ingests knowledge bases, conversations, tickets, and system logs, then produces written instructions that agents can execute-with confidence scoring to know when to automate and when to seek human input.

We're looking for AI Engineers who have built complex, production LLM-based systems. Whether you've scaled LLM workflows handling millions of requests, built multi-agent systems in production, or designed evaluation frameworks for enterprise deployments, we want people who bring intensity and self-direction to their craft.

You'll spend most of your time advancing our core learning library and building the harness that powers our platform's agents across all customers. The work spans continuous learning systems, agentic features, human-in-the-loop feedback loops, and agent orchestration.
What You'll Do
  • Build and extend our core context-learning library, turning customer-informed problems into reusable platform capabilities.
  • Design and implement LLM-powered systems and agentic workflows from concept to production
  • Build agentic features for knowledge management-think agents that can edit, update, and maintain large knowledge bases autonomously
  • Build reliability and confidence systems-evaluation frameworks, confidence scoring, and logic for when to automate vs. when to escalate to a human
  • Architect async, scalable systems that handle complex AI orchestration
  • Contribute to the direction of our AI strategy and product capabilities
What We're Looking For
  • You've built complex, production LLM-based systems with real depth-something with multiple layers of engineering decisions you can walk through in detail
  • You've shipped something meaningful to production and can explain how it evolved
  • You're excited by open-ended problems where the solution might not exist yet
  • You have experience with (or strong interest in) how systems learn and improve over time: human-in-the-loop feedback, prompt optimization and context engineering
  • You have experience building agents and autonomous systems
  • You can navigate between research papers and production code with equal comfort
  • You're a strong communicator who can clearly explain your work to teammates and customers
  • You have 3+ years of professional experience


Don't meet all of the above traits? We'd still love to hear from you. We're looking for exceptional people with unique skills and interests, and we know that great people have different backgrounds and skillsets.
