About the Role
You will identify high-leverage bottlenecks with kernel, ASIC, hardware, and production teams and take them from an initial idea to tools engineers use daily. You will build and deploy LLM agents, create full-stack internal products, design evaluations, track adoption, and work directly with founders on critical projects.
Requirements
- Build and ship software end to end.
- Demonstrate strong full-stack development skills.
- Build LLM agents or AI tooling used by real users.
- Apply context engineering, tool integration, evaluation, and failure analysis.
- Use agentic coding tools and frontier models.
- Demonstrate product sense, design judgment, and attention to detail.
Responsibilities
- Embed with kernel, ASIC, hardware, and production teams to identify bottlenecks and deliver tools engineers rely on.
- Build and deploy LLM agents integrated into engineering workflows through tool calling and MCP.
- Ship full-stack internal products, including interfaces, data pipelines, and infrastructure.
- Design evaluations and track adoption to assess internal tools.
- Take on special projects with founders and address critical milestones.
Benefits
- Medical, dental, and vision coverage with generous premium coverage.
