📋 Description

• Design and build the agent harness — skill loading, tool invocation, context management, the execution sandbox, compaction patterns and sub-agents. • Stand up the evaluation pipeline: how we measure skill effectiveness, catch regressions, and turn production failures into fixed behaviors. • Partner with product and engineering to ship the first 3–5 supplier-facing use cases (invoicing, catalog, strategic views) on top of the platform you build. • Define and maintain the cloud deployment and configuration for the platform. How it gets to production, how it scales, and how it stays secure. • Make architectural calls on runtime isolation, credential handling, audit logging, and tenant separation, in collaboration with DevOps specialists. • Raise the bar for the rest of the team on how to build with agentic tooling, what to automate, what to verify, and what to leave to humans.

🎯 Requirements

• Have 6+ years shipping production software and are strong in Python and/or TypeScript. • Have built platform or infrastructure systems that other engineers depend on — CLIs, runtimes, internal platforms. • Have shipped at least one LLM-powered product to real users and have opinions about why most of them don't work. • Are a **daily, heavy user of agentic coding tools** — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or equivalents — and have a point of view on how to get the most out of them. • 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. • Have deployed and operated containerized services in production. You understand network isolation, infrastructure-as-code, secrets management, and least-privilege IAM, not just the application layer. • Think in systems: you reason about tokens, latency, failure modes, and user outcomes together, not as separate concerns.
