📋 Description

• Build and extend the eval pipeline: how we measure task completion, catch regressions, and turn production failures into fixed behaviors. • Work on context management: what the agent sees, when, and how we keep long-horizon tasks coherent without burning tokens. • Design sub-agent patterns: when to fan out, how to compose specialized agents cleanly, and how to keep the parent agent in control of the outcome. • Own document parsing: turning supplier-uploaded invoices, catalogs, and contracts into structured context the agent can reason over. • Wrap Coupa supplier APIs as agent-callable CLI tools, with clean error surfaces and sensible defaults for an agent caller. • Ship supplier-facing skills on top of the harness: the procedural instructions and tool compositions that let the agent handle specific tasks end-to-end. • Debug messy production behavior: why did the agent take that path, where did it get confused, and what tool, context, or harness change fixes it? • Partner with the senior engineer on harness architecture calls as you find gaps while working across the stack.

🎯 Requirements

• Have 3–5 years shipping production software and are strong in Python (TypeScript a plus). • Have shipped at least one LLM-powered feature or product, even if small, and can talk about what went wrong and what you'd do differently. • Are a daily, heavy user of agentic coding tools — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or equivalents. • Have side projects. Real ones. Things you've built because you couldn't stop thinking about them. Ideally things the new generation of AI tools made possible for you to finish. • Write and speak English fluently. Skill authoring is prose-heavy and the team operates in English. • Debug by reading, not by guessing. You reach for logs, traces, and evals before theorizing.

🏖️ Benefits

• Pioneering Technology: At Coupa, we're at the forefront of innovation, leveraging the latest technology to empower our customers with greater efficiency and visibility in their spend. • Collaborative Culture: We value collaboration and teamwork, and our culture is driven by transparency, openness, and a shared commitment to excellence. • Global Impact: Join a company where your work has a global, measurable impact on our clients, the business, and each other.
