- Own capabilities across Python and Django services, APIs, React and TypeScript interfaces, data models, background jobs, observability, and production operations.
- Improve latency, cost, reliability, and safety, using production traces and user feedback to diagnose and address issues.
- Partner with evaluation and quality teams to define expected behavior and turn findings into engineering improvements.
- Shape technical direction, build maintainable platform abstractions, and contribute to design reviews.
What We're Looking For
- At least 5 years building and operating production software systems end to end.
- Strong Python proficiency and hands-on experience with Django, APIs, React, and TypeScript.
- Experience building agent systems, including planning, tool calling, state and context management, structured outputs, retries, and orchestration.
- Experience designing external API integrations and reusable platform abstractions.
- Strong product judgment, systems design, and debugging skills, including analysis across prompts, model outputs, application code, databases, and APIs.
- Experience improving complex systems based on production signals, and comfort working with ambiguous requirements.
- A degree in engineering or a related field, with strong technical fundamentals.
- Evidence of startup-building experience or sustained career progression within an organization.
