What you will do
- Ship production code in the core platform alongside the rest of engineering including backend services, APIs, data pipelines, search
- Design robust, well-architected APIs that power both our product and the integrations you deploy in the field
- Build and productionize agent workflows and LLM-powered systems, including evals, guardrails, and cost/latency tuning
- Operate what you build: instrumentation, observability, and SRE work when a pipeline breaks in a customer's environment at an inconvenient hour
- Embed with customers to learn their workflows, data, and constraints directly rather than through a requirements doc
What they are looking for
- 3–7 years of professional software engineering experience
- Strong fundamentals: you can drop into an unfamiliar codebase, debug a production incident, design a clean API, and reason clearly about data models and failure modes
- Strong backend development and API design experience; proficiency in Python and JavaScript/TypeScript
- Experience running systems in production with observability, scaling, and on-call ownership
- Real comfort in front of customers: you can run a technical discovery conversation, push back on a stakeholder without damaging the relationship, and turn a vague business problem into a scoped technical one
- Judgment about what to generalize and what to leave bespoke, and the discipline to advocate for the former
- Comfortable in a fast-paced, early-stage environment with high ownership and ambiguity
- Willing to be based in or relocate to the San Francisco Bay Area, with occasional travel to customer sites
Nice to have
- Experience developing agents or building evals for LLM systems
- Prior forward-deployed, solutions architecture, or technical account engineering experience at a product company
- Domain exposure to compliance/AML/KYB, Trust & Safety, fraud, cybersecurity, or investigations
- Experience deploying software into regulated or security-sensitive environments (SOC 2, data residency, VPC or on-prem installs)
- Experience building developer-facing products or platforms (APIs, SDKs, dev tools)
- Prior startup experience, ideally at a similar stage
- Experience working in an AI company
Benefits
- Unlimited PTO
- Lunch on us in the office
- Monthly gym membership reimbursement
- Monthly AI tools/productivity reimbursement
- 401k with company match
