Founding Product Engineer, AI Agents (AI Research Startup)

A startup that grew out of language-model agent research is hiring founding-level engineers to turn that research into real products and developer tooling. Product, platform and research work sit close together, so the job spans the whole stack.

Key duties

• Create and run live applications and developer tooling: front-end products, service endpoints, client kits and reusable packages
• Carry products from first concept through prototype, launch and iteration based on user feedback
• Translate new research outputs into reliable product features and abstractions aimed at developers
• Shape architecture and scalability as usage grows
• Work with researchers, designers and infrastructure engineers so product goals stay technically realistic
• Define engineering quality through testing, CI/CD, docs and release practice
• Contribute mainly to the agent system itself, including its memory, with the serving platform and model research handled by neighboring roles

Experience we value

• Two to seven years as a product engineer building a range of AI applications and agents
• Hands-on record of shipping complete agent systems, beyond calling model APIs or building a single piece such as retrieval
• Strong fundamentals in concurrency, architecture and how software really works
• A blend of mature big-tech engineering and scrappy early-stage or research settings
• Degree in computer science or another technical field from a strong university
• Curiosity shown through agent-related side projects or open-source work; developer tooling experience is a plus
• Stack includes Python, TypeScript, React, Next.js, FastAPI and AWS or GCP

On-site in the South Bay Area (Silicon Valley). Visa transfers considered.
