## About the Role

They operate with high ownership, first-principles thinking, and a culture that values strong communication, growth mindset, and kindness.

## Description

Our client is hiring a Software Engineer, AI Agents to build and productionize agentic systems that help customers act on their data. This is a product-minded role for someone who can move quickly from prototype * production, is creative with LLM applications, and can architect reliable backend pipelines.
You'll work on AI features that directly power customer workflows-especially around analytics and data questions-and you'll partner closely with product to translate ambiguity into elegant systems.
What You'll Work On

 + Rapidly iterate on proofs of concept (POCs) to explore the ceiling of AI in data + marketing workflows
 + Make key decisions on LLM architecture and frameworks, balancing speed, reliability, and maintainability
 + Build production "data agents" that use a company's warehouse data to answer analytics and data science questions about users and marketing performance
 + Develop a deep understanding of user workflows and design seamless AI-assisted experiences (not just "chatbots")
 + Productionize LLM pipelines with strong engineering fundamentals: observability, evaluations, safety/guardrails, cost control, and performance
What Our Client Is Looking For

 + Strong backend and systems fundamentals (you can architect and ship end-to-end systems)
 + Product intuition and customer empathy-you build for real workflows, not demos
 + Creativity in applying LLMs/agents to practical problems
 + Comfort operating in ambiguity and iterating quickly
 + Strong communication skills and ownership mindset
Note: Prior LLM experience is not required. The team values strong technical skills and product thinking most; you'll learn fast on the AI side if you have the fundamentals.
