  • Monitor production performance, investigate failures, and improve reliability.
  • Work closely with the CTO, ML, backend, and operations teams.

What You'll Bring

  • Strong Python and production backend engineering experience.
  • Experience shipping LLM agents and AI systems to production.
  • Hands-on with evaluations, graders, and testing frameworks.
  • Familiarity with agent tooling such as OpenHands, Agent2Agent, and MCP.
  • Able to move quickly from prototype to robust production systems.
  • Clear track record of owning and shipping meaningful technical work.
