Your job is the platform itself: the trigger layer that routes every inbound event from Slack, Linear, GitHub, and the ShopMy product; durable multi-step workflows; human-in-the-loop approvals; agent memory; evals; cost attribution; and the console it's all managed through. You'll partner closely with the agent managers who design and run the agents themselves. It's a small team with broad ownership, and the design challenge is keeping it a true platform - model-agnostic, with diverse triggers, composable workflows, and abstractions that make the next agent cheap to launch instead of a one-off build. Your Impact to the Role * Design and evolve the orchestration core: a declarative trigger system spanning Slack, Linear, cron, and HTTP; durable workflows; and agent runs that can suspend and resume around human approval * Find the abstractions that keep the platform general, so the next agent or workflow composes existing machinery instead of forking a new code path * Build the tool layer that gives agents their capabilities: Slack, Linear, GitHub, Notion, MCP, and a dynamic tool registry * Build the management console agent managers use to create, evaluate, and improve agents (React) * Make agent behavior legible: run tracing, evals and judges, feedback loops, and per-run cost attribution * Design and implement APIs in TypeScript and NestJS backed by Postgres * Deploy and operate the platform on AWS (ECS, ALB, CloudFormation, CloudWatch) You Are Energized By * Platform engineering with your users in the building: agent managers build on what you ship, and feedback arrives in hours, not quarters * Working where the patterns aren't established yet: durable execution, human-in-the-loop, memory, and evals for nondeterministic systems are problems you'll help define * Finding the abstraction that turns a special case into a capability * Solving complex technical challenges with clean, efficient, and scalable code ## Related Videos - [Building a Multi-Agent Orchestration Engine That Actually Follows the Rules](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100159-building-a-multi-agent-orchestration-engine-that-actually-follows-the-rules) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) - [From clicks to cribs - How to find your dream home with web scraping](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/767-from-clicks-to-cribs-how-to-find-your-dream-home-with-web-scraping) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Streaming AI Responses in Real-Time with SSE in Next.js & NestJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1630-streaming-ai-responses-in-real-time-with-sse-in-next-js-nestjs) - [Is your backend a hodgepodge of queues, event stores and cron jobs?
