# Applied AI Engineer - Agent

We’re hiring an Applied AI Engineer to push the boundaries of our Cofounder agent. You’ll own core backend systems and applied LLM work: advancing agent reliability and autonomy, building evaluation pipelines, and shipping techniques that measurably improve agent performance. This is a hands-on role with high ownership across research-to-production: prototyping, instrumenting, evaluating, and deploying improvements that show up directly in user outcomes. What You’ll Do Design and implement agent improvements end-to-end: prompting strategies, tool selection, action planning, memory usage, safety/guardrails, and recovery paths Build robust evaluation pipelines for the agent: offline evals (golden tasks, regression suites, behavior tests), online metrics (latency, success rate, fallout modes, cost efficiency), and experimentation frameworks (A/B, canaries, guardrail thresholds) Productionize applied LLM techniques: function/tool-calling orchestration, self-reflection, retrieval/RAG, multi-agent handoffs, caching/embedding strategies, and hallucination reduction Improve core backend systems: reliable job orchestration, retries/backoff, idempotency, and auditability; scalable memory
