Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) Artificial Intelligence Data Visualization Programming Tools Distributed Systems Human-Computer Interaction Interaction Design Backend Tools for Reporting

Job description

  • End-to-End Control-Plane & Telemetry Surfaces: Architect and build domain models, APIs, and high-density visual interfaces for intent expression, agent supervision, and anomaly diagnosis.
  • Information Architecture & Visualization: Apply core information design principles (hierarchy, progressive disclosure, small multiples, data provenance) to make high-dimensional, temporal, and non-deterministic system state instantly understandable.
  • Interaction Design for Human-Agent Systems: Design interactions, feedback loops, and state-reversal mechanisms for automated workflows. Define micro-interactions, sensible default states, and clear affordances for human oversight.
  • Human-in-the-Loop Frameworks: Intentionally balance synchronous approvals, asynchronous audit trails, and automated guardrails based on risk, uncertainty, and reversibility.
  • UX Prototyping to Production: Rapidly prototype new interaction models, evaluate them against technical constraints, and ship production-grade code that raises the bar for explainability and usability.

Requirements

We’re hiring a senior engineer for a rare systems-to-interface role: someone who understands data-intensive and distributed systems deeply, but is equally motivated by information design, visualization, and UX. This person will own both control-plane and telemetry experiences in a world where agents increasingly do the work and humans need to understand what happened, recognize when to engage, and make high-quality judgments. It’s a hands-on role for someone with a point of view about agent versus human interaction, human-in-the-loop design, auditability, and how to make complex system behavior genuinely clear., * Systems & Platform Engineering: Deep understanding of distributed architecture, state management, consistency, asynchronous failure modes, and observability.

  • Advanced UX & Information Design: Strong proficiency in information architecture, interaction design, and data visualization. Familiarity with design thinkers like Edward Tufte, Bret Victor, Tamara Munzner, or Ben Shneiderman.
  • Full-Stack Execution: Ability to work across backend system concepts (events, policies, lineages) and craft fine-grained user experiences in code.
  • AI-Native Product Thinking: Expertise designing interfaces for agentic execution beyond simple chat/copilot flows (focusing on delegation, governance, context-awareness, and trust).
  • Nuanced Interaction Design: Mastery of friction vs. fluidity-knowing precisely when to insert a confirmation step, how to show system causality, and how to represent uncertainty clearly.

Even Better If:

  • Experience building developer platforms, observability systems, control planes, or investigative analytics tools.
  • Background in human-computer interaction (HCI), design systems, or data visualization for enterprise/safety-critical software.
  • Track record of building tool-using AI models, agent supervision interfaces, or zero-to-one developer tools.
