(Our AI Agents team builds the agent platform; you apply it everywhere it creates leverage.) This is a product-engineering role first, so you'll go where the priorities are-some quarters that's an agent that automates vetting or matching, others it's a payments flow or platform work. You'll partner with our CTO on architecture and roadmap, and build the platform the rest of the company runs on.\nAbout You:\nAn applier, not a researcher. You take frontier models and existing agents and wire them into real product across the stack-shipping reliable automation rather than owning the orchestration internals. And you don't need every task to be an AI task: you take the highest-priority problem, model or not.\n\nVoracious learner. You move easily between API design, UX, and deployment infrastructure.\n\nProven full-stack builder. You have a track record of shipping scalable, performant applications from frontend interfaces to backend distributed systems.\n\nYou Will:\nApply existing agents and frontier models across the stack-worker app, business app, ops platform, marketplace-to automate vetting, matching, and fulfillment.\n\nLead frontend and backend development, mentoring other engineers.\n\nArchitect and build core systems-real-time matching, autonomous vetting pipelines, distributed systems, and APIs.\n\nOwn product surfaces end to end, partnering closely with product and design.\n\nYou Have:\n5+ years across frontend and backend: TypeScript, React/React Native, and Node.js or Python.\n\nStrong with APIs, distributed systems, PostgreSQL, and messaging (Kafka or RabbitMQ).\n\nHands-on experience integrating LLMs or agents into real product-prompting, tool wiring, evals. You've shipped AI features, even if you didn't build the platform.\n\nA track record of shipping scalable products in fast, ambiguous, early-stage environments.\n\nBenefits:\nStart-up equity\n\nCompetitive Salary\n\n100% Paid health, dental & vision coverage\n\nDinner Provided via DoorDash, free DashPass & stocked kitchen for NY employees\n\nCommuter benefit\n\nGympass Benefit\n\nAdditional: One Medical Membership, Gympass, HSA via Optum, Talkspace, HealthAdvocate, Teledoc Health\n\nSalary Range Details\nThe compensation range for this position is set between $200,000 and $240,000, reflecting our market analysis and other relevant considerations.
