## About the Role

You have a track record of shipping production software and have built at least one AI product or workflow used by real users, ideally in an enterprise or scaled consumer environment.

You have strong software fundamentals and are fluent in Python and/or TypeScript. Our current stack spans React/TypeScript, Python services, gRPC, AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Snowflake, and Docker; exact stack match is less important than range and judgment.

You are comfortable with ambiguity and accompanying ownership.

## Description

* Build agentic workflows over enterprise and government data, with clear rules for what a model can see, what tools it can call, and when a human needs to review or approve an action.
 * Design context and grounding systems that give models the right information at the right time without violating permissions or performance constraints.
 * Work across backend services, APIs, async workers, data pipelines, internal tools, and product facing surfaces., * Build evals and feedback loops for model behavior and workflow outcomes.
 * Own tracing and runtime visibility across models, context, tool calls, generated outputs.
 * Debug failures from evidence: context, traces, tool responses, user review, production logs.
 * Improve quality without ignoring latency, cost, or security., * shipped production LLM or agentic workflows at an AI native startup, scaled AI product company, or serious applied-AI team;
 * built evals or feedback loops that caught real regressions;
 * debugged production failures in agent workflows, especially around grounding, tool use, or model/runtime boundaries;
 * built systems that operate over enterprise data with defined security boundaries;
 * worked in domains where wrong answers have serious consequences, such as scientific, medical, legal, financial, or public sector workflows;
 * owned meaningful product or platform surface area earlier than their title would suggest.
