It needs tools, durable execution, permissions, context, and a way to recover when something fails. You'll build the backend that lets Higgsfield agents carry creative tasks from a user's request to a finished result. We're looking for an engineer we can trust with a problem: work out what is worth building, build it, and carry it through to users.\nWhat you'll actually do\nAgent execution: build orchestration for multi-step tasks, tool calls, streaming updates, and cancellation.\n\nDurable workflows: implement checkpoints, resumability, retries, and recovery without duplicating actions.\n\nTools and integrations: connect agents to generation, editing, and external services through clear, validated interfaces.\n\nExecution boundaries: enforce user permissions, tenant isolation, resource limits, and approval requirements for consequential actions.\n\nEvaluation and observability: trace failures, build regression cases, and improve task completion, latency, and cost.\n\nOwnership: understand a real user task → define success and build evaluation cases → scope the simplest useful workflow → ship → measure completion, reliability, and dollar impact → improve from failed runs. Our release cycle is days, not quarters, so your first shipped agent capability happens fast.\n\nMust-haves\nYou've taken a difficult problem from an unclear starting point to a working system used in production, and can explain your own decisions, contribution, and results.\n\nYou can build reliable agent execution: state machines, concurrency, queues, recovery, model APIs, secure tool calls, and repeatable evaluations. You learn unfamiliar tools quickly and understand what you ship.\n\nYou choose the next steps, remove blockers, and ask for help when needed. You cut scope to test an idea, adapt from evidence, and keep working through difficult problems.\n\nYou investigate real user tasks and failed agent runs, use feedback to choose what to automate, and stop workflows that do not help users finish their work.\n\nYou take feedback, change your mind when the evidence changes, and do the work the team needs. You share knowledge and responsibility so others can operate and extend what you build.\n\nWho this is not for\nYou prefer deterministic application behavior without investigating model uncertainty.\n\nYou prefer prototyping without owning evaluation, recovery, and production reliability.\n\nNice to have\nProduction agents, workflow engines, or developer tools.\n\nHigh-throughput systems with heavy traffic, large data volumes, or many long-running jobs.\n\nAgent context management, memory, subagents, or parallel tool calls.\n\nSandboxed execution and scoped authorization.\n\nMultimodal workflows involving images, video, or audio.\n\nInterview process\nRecruiter screen: role expectations, logistics, and fit.\n\nTechnical interview: a difficult system you shipped, what you personally decided and built, and how your work made the team more capable without leaving it dependent on you.\n\nAdditional technical interview, if needed: a deeper discussion of technical skills and open questions.\n\nProduct fit interview: scope a useful tool-using workflow, evaluate failures, and explain when user feedback would lead you to change or stop it.\n\nOffer.\n\nWhat we offer\nCompetitive base in USD, equity, relocation support, and ownership of systems that turn AI capabilities into completed creative work.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3506,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Generative Image","Generative Video","Generative Audio & Music"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-17T18:48:18Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":9,"expected_fill_days":55,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-27T05:46:45Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/higgsfield-backend-software-engineer-agentic","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/higgsfield-backend-software-engineer-agentic.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-28T03:24:16Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4578,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-29T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":66037},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=66037"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fhiggsfield-backend-software-engineer-agentic"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fhiggsfield-backend-software-engineer-agentic"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fhiggsfield-backend-software-engineer-agentic"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/higgsfield-backend-software-engineer-agentic\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fhiggsfield-backend-software-engineer-agentic"}]}
