About the role

We're Hiring! 🦡

We are looking for a strong AI Architect / Senior AI Engineer to help design and build a new generation of autonomous AI systems. This will be a hybrid or fully remote role anywhere in the US.

This role combines AI, LLMs, agent systems, backend engineering, and distributed systems. You will help turn an ambitious concept into a working MVP, define the core architecture, and help shape the technical direction of the product.

What you’ll work on

Autonomous AI agents with persistent state and memory

Agent planning, reasoning, and decision-making

Behavioral and personality models that influence decisions

Long-term memory and context management

Tool use and dynamic tool selection

Browser and environment interaction

Autonomous data exploration and extraction

Distributed systems for running many agents and workers

Monitoring, evaluation, and simulation

Requirements

5+ years of experience in software engineering, AI/ML, or a related field

Strong experience with LLMs and AI agents

Excellent Python skills

Strong backend and system design skills

Experience with distributed or asynchronous systems

Experience building autonomous or agent-based systems

Good understanding of memory, retrieval, and context management

Ability to take an idea from concept to a working prototype

Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently

Nice to have

Reinforcement learning

Multi-agent systems

Behavioral modeling

Computer-use / browser agents

Large-scale distributed systems

AI evaluation and simulation

The ideal candidate

A hands-on AI engineer who can think like an architect — someone who enjoys solving open-ended problems, building prototypes quickly, and turning new AI capabilities into reliable, scalable systems.

This is an opportunity to take significant technical ownership and help define the architecture and engineering direction of a highly ambitious AI platform.
