About the role:Seso is building the first modern payroll and workforce platform for agriculture, an industry that's been ignored by every other HR/payroll company because it's "too hard." We're growing fast, and we're looking for an engineer who's genuinely AI-native: not someone bolting a chatbot onto a product, but someone who thinks in agents, evals, and production ML systems as a default way of building software. We've shipped our first agents, and need a true thought partner to help level up our game.
What you'll do- Design and ship production AI agents that are core to the product experience (not prototypes, not demos)
- Work across our stack (TypeScript, Node.js/React) to build features end-to-end
- Bring ML/AI judgment to product decisions as in, where agents make sense, where they don't, and how to make them reliable in production
- Move fast in a startup environment where you'll own real ambiguity and be empowered to push the boundaries
Must-haves- Hands-on ML background and/or real experience building and shipping production AI agents (not just API calls to a model: non-trivial agent design, evals, and reliability work at scale)
- Strong TypeScript experience
- 2+ years of professional software development experience
Nice-to-haves- Experience with LangGraph/LangChain or similar agent frameworks
- Node.js/React stack experience
- Forward-deployed engineering (FDE) experience and comfort being customer-facing - translating real-world problems into shipped solutions
- 3-5+ years of professional development experience
- Based in San Francisco (preferred)
