What you'll doYou will own well-scoped pieces of the platform, with design and code review from senior engineers, across these areas:
- Agent runtime and workflow execution: Build the runtime for role-specific agents: tool use, delegation, pause/resume, durable checkpoints, retries and failure recovery. Agents must resume safely without losing state or duplicating side effects.
- Typed tools and action contracts: Build deterministic controls around non-deterministic reasoning: governed reads, proposed writes, precondition checks, business invariants, scoped permissions, idempotency, audit trails and rollback.
- Context and memory systems: Build tenant-scoped context assembly, retrieval, freshness controls, provenance, transcripts, artifacts, tool results and replayable evidence. ServiceTitan systems of record stay authoritative; memory provides context and coordination.
- Trust and approval infrastructure: Build human-in-the-loop gates, approval thresholds, reversibility, tenant policy enforcement and audit history for financial, contractual, dispatch, warranty and compliance-sensitive workflows.
- Evaluation and observability: Build offline and online evals, scenario libraries, simulation, trajectory review, regression detection, cost and latency telemetry and autonomy promotion gates.
- Reusable capability platform: Help product teams package prompts, tools, context requirements, policies, evals, rollout controls, ownership and rollback into governed capabilities for owners, CSRs, dispatchers, technicians, managers and back-office teams.
- Model and inference architecture: Contribute to practical tradeoffs across latency, cost, quality, structured outputs, caching, fallback behavior, provider choice and model routing behind a shared platform layer.
Day to day, you will also:- Write production code, build reliable APIs, workflows and services for agent execution, and review teammates' implementations.
- Inspect traces, debug failures and improve production behavior, working through real failure modes: stale context, wrong tool calls, missing permissions, unsafe actions, poor retrieval, latency spikes and cost regressions.
- Design evaluation scenarios and regression suites for agent workflows.
- Partner with domain teams to turn agent use cases into reusable platform patterns, and help define platform contracts for tools, actions, approvals, context, memory, evidence and evaluation.
What you'll bringRequired- B.S., M.S. or PhD (or equivalent practical experience) in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics or a related field.
- 0-3 years of professional, internship or substantial project experience building software.
- Strong hands-on coding ability in Python (strongly preferred) or a comparable backend language such as TypeScript, C# or Java, with clean, tested code.
- Practical understanding of LLM application basics: prompt and context assembly, retrieval, tool calling, structured outputs and agent workflows. Substantial academic, internship or personal projects count.
- Working knowledge of SQL and databases, REST APIs, Git and async or background processing.
- Production-safety instincts: you think about failure modes, validation, permissions, idempotency, audit trails and monitoring, even if you have applied them mainly in projects.
- Good engineering judgment and clear written and verbal communication.
Preferred (you don't need all of these)- Experience building AI, ML, data, platform, infrastructure, workflow, automation or developer-platform systems in production.
- Experience with modern LLM architecture: model gateways, memory, human approval patterns.
- Exposure to distributed or event-driven systems: queues, durable execution, message-driven architectures.
- Experience designing or operating evaluation systems: behavioral evals, regression suites, scenario tests, trajectory review, simulation, online metrics or production monitoring.
- Data and context instincts: unstructured data, vector search, metadata, provenance, freshness, source authority and privacy boundaries.
- Experience with databases, warehouses or search systems such as PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Snowflake, BigQuery, Elasticsearch or vector stores.
- Experience building services on public cloud infrastructure such as Azure, AWS or GCP.
- Awareness of reliability, security, observability and multi-tenant SaaS constraints.
