# Founding AI Engineer

- **Company:** ANDERA INC
- **Location:** San Francisco, CA, United States
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Systems Engineering, Big Data, Software Debugging, Fault Tolerance, Python (Programming Language), TypeScript, AWS Fargate, Virtual Agents, Terraform, Docker
- **Published:** August 2, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=2b4f8b2a6740276a

## About the Role

* Experience building complex agent or workflow-based systems - You can reason about how to rebuild systems like Claude-style agents from scratch. You understand planning, tool use, memory, and failure modes.
 * Strong fullstack engineering ability - You can be trusted to ship fault-tolerant features end to end. You understand how your changes interact with the rest of the system.
 * Strong systems engineering fundamentals - You can design concurrent workloads over large datasets without stalling or failure. You think carefully about throughput, backpressure, retries, and observability.
 * Comfort learning non-engineering domains quickly - You can absorb audit concepts from domain experts and turn them into working systems fast.
 * Experience with or adjacent to our stack: TypeScript, Python, Temporal, Docker, Terraform, AWS Fargate

## Description

We're hiring an AI Engineer to help build the core agent systems that power autonomous financial audits. You'll work on long-horizon reasoning, large-scale data ingestion, and production-grade agent reliability, collaborating closely with auditors and other engineers., * Designing and implementing complex AI agent systems (planning, memory, tool use, recovery)

 * Building fault-tolerant, end-to-end features that integrate cleanly with the broader codebase
 * Splitting and executing workloads that process ~100GB+ of data across processes and threads efficiently
 * Debugging agent failures, edge cases, and performance bottlenecks in production
 * Rapidly learning new audit workflows and implementing agent improvements in hours, not weeks
