Salary: $90,000 - 130,000 per year Requirements:

  • We have at least 2 years of experience in backend engineering, AI automation, or integrating complex systems.
  • We can build and maintain production-ready software with clear modular boundaries, such as separate services for parsing, processing logic, and reporting.
  • We are proficient in at least two major programming languages, such as Python, JavaScript, Go, or Java, and we have experience working with SQL databases.
  • We have practical experience building for real, non-simulated environments and managing multi-step system interactions.
  • We demonstrate exceptional attention to detail and can deliver concise, high-value technical feedback on intricate system behavior.
  • We are comfortable working on multi-stage coordination challenges where information gathering leads to reasoned outcomes.
  • We have experience connecting agents to live tools and APIs, including platforms such as Supabase and Gmail.
  • We understand how to implement persistent state and session tracking to monitor agent progress.
  • We can identify subtle issues such as privacy exposure, authority escalation, and indirect prompt injection.

Responsibilities:

  • We help train advanced generative systems by providing human feedback that improves AI agents.
  • We contribute to projects that teach large language models to operate as proactive, multi-step agents.
  • We work on designing, coordinating, and optimizing complex real-world architectural workflows.
  • We build and evaluate systems that interact with live tools and services in non-mocked environments.
  • We analyze multi-turn interactions and provide precise feedback on system performance and behavior.
  • We support the development of orchestration-focused solutions that require data gathering, reasoning, and structured output.
  • We identify and report subtle failure modes, including security and privacy-related risks.
  • We help improve the reliability and quality of autonomous agent behavior through detailed technical input.
