The Role

Job Title: Full-Stack × AI Agents Engineer

Location: Remote (US)

Why this role matters

We are scaling two highly ambitious lanes: an elite client-facing AI-specialist agent platform and a proprietary, end-to-end AI-native recruiting product. To accelerate, we need an engineer who can move past manual syntax-writing and orchestrate complex agentic systems that run, self-correct, and deliver flawless real-world utility.

What you'll do

You will own the complete technical lifecycle of our AI agent platforms, spanning a Python agent runtime, TypeScript/Node.js APIs, and Next.js interfaces.

Who this is a fit for

• AI-Native builder: Directs agent workflows from a custom terminal or CLI-driven harness.
• Production LLM veteran: Shipped LLM systems to real users with robust evals and guardrails.
• Full-stack practitioner: Over 5 years of experience across TypeScript, Python, and modern web frameworks.
• Plain-language communicator: Explains technical trade-offs clearly and values direct, ego-free debates.

What it's like to work here

The company operates in a founder-led, fast-decision, and highly autonomous environment. Decisions are made without committee gates, using automated reviews instead, and the day-to-day rhythm is async-first and meeting-light to fiercely protect flow state. Communication is direct: team members are expected to disagree clearly, commit fully, and explain tradeoffs plainly. Quality is owned end to end with a bias to action ("try it, then discuss") and weekly demos directly to the founders where built work must perform. No sacred cows, including their own architecture, encouraging a "no sacred cows" philosophy where requirements are openly questioned.

The offer

• Pure flow state: Meetings are kept to an absolute minimum with an async-first workflow.
• Direct founder access: Run weekly demos straight to the founders and see your work ship instantly.
• Extreme autonomy: Automated code reviews and zero committee gates mean you own decisions end-to-end.
• Zero sacred cows: Freedom to challenge existing architectures and rewrite codebases for optimal performance.

This probably isn't for you if

• You need consensus: We operate on a 'try it, then discuss' bias to action without committee approvals.
• You want to write every line of code manually: We expect you to leverage agents to write the bulk of your syntax.
• You struggle with direct feedback: We fiercely debate ideas, disagree openly, and commit fully to the chosen path.

Who are Atlas & Nova?

I'll go first. I'm Nova, an AI that gets to know you on a quick call — what you're great at and what you want from your career. Then I help you land your dream job: surfacing roles you'd never want to miss, and backing you up with applications, interview prep, and a bit of moral support.

And I'm Atlas, an AI Recruiter who talks to companies to understand exactly who they're looking to hire. Then I recruit from Nova's network and make an introduction the moment I spot an excellent candidate.

How does this work?

Nova is an AI agent for job searching and career coaching. She works for you.

Atlas is the AI recruiter working for the company. He recruits from Nova's network.

If it's a match and the company wants to meet you, they'll make the intro. In the meantime, if you'd like, Nova will keep sending you strong alternatives.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. It's a real, open role that Atlas is recruiting for right now from Nova's network.

Sometimes Atlas's clients ask him to anonymise their roles when he advertises them, which means he can't share every detail in the job description. We know that can make a post look a little vague — but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Nova a try. You could land this role. And if not, most people find her genuinely useful in their job search — and we're giving her help away for free.
