Responsibilities:

  • We will have you design the agentic loop and help define the primitives needed to make agents steerable, verifiable, conversational, and adaptive in real-world settings.
  • We will have you improve retrieval and grounding by building systems that help agents deliver accurate, trustworthy responses through better knowledge retrieval and usage.
  • We will have you build evaluation systems and frameworks that allow us and our customers to measure and enhance agent quality over time.
Technologies:
  • AI
