📋 Description

• Rapidly design, build, and iterate on proofs of concept that integrate agentic AI solutions into real-world workflows. • Explore high-risk, high-reward ideas with an eye toward surfacing scalable, high-impact opportunities. • Treat experimentation as the core product—focusing on speed, learning, and insight generation. • Approach problems with an explorer's mindset, pivot quickly when ideas fail, extract learnings, and move to the next hypothesis. • Experiment with multi-agent systems, orchestration frameworks, and emerging LLM tooling; establish patterns for safety, observability, and guardrails in experimental contexts. • Share results—both successes and failures—openly to inform future bets; partner with product and research teams to evaluate feasibility and impact of promising prototypes; advocate for an experimentation-first culture within the engineering org.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years building and delivering production or experimental software systems. • Strong coding ability in at least one statically typed language (Go, Java, C#) and one scripting language (Python, TypeScript, Bash). • Hands-on experience with AI/LLM tooling, including prompt engineering and agent frameworks. • Proven ability to independently scope, prototype, and deliver fast-turnaround projects. • Comfort with ambiguity, high failure rates, and rapid iteration cycles. • Curiosity-driven mindset with a demonstrated track record of creative problem solving. • Preferred: Prior experience working in labs, skunkworks teams, or exploratory R&D groups; Familiarity with multi-agent orchestration, autonomous systems, and reinforcement learning; Exposure to design thinking, rapid prototyping, or innovation sprints; Background in human-computer interaction or applied AI research.

🏖️ Benefits
