About the job


Senior Agent Systems Engineer

Location: SF Bay Area (On-site)


We’re representing a frontier AI research group building autonomous systems that can reason, plan, and operate complex real-world engineering workflows. This is a core engineering role shaping how intelligent agents interact with tools, data, and long-horizon tasks.


 The Opportunity

Join a small, high-performing team designing the orchestration, planning, and execution layer that enables LLM-driven agents to reliably complete multi-step engineering processes.


What You’ll Do

  • Build agent planning and orchestration systems that coordinate tool calls, workflows, and long-horizon tasks
  • Design schemas, action interfaces, and deterministic execution flows
  • Implement robust error-handling, rollback, retry, and reproducibility strategies
  • Own the tooling logic that connects agents to real engineering stacks
  • Partner with ML researchers, infra teams, and domain experts to deliver production-grade agent systems


What You Bring

  • Experience building agent systems, orchestrators, tool-use frameworks, or structured LLM pipelines
  • Strong systems-engineering fundamentals — deterministic thinking, reliability, and failure-mode awareness
  • Comfort designing workflows that integrate with complex real-world tools
  • Ability to work in a fast, experimental environment where robustness matters


Why This Role Excites People

  • Build agent systems that control real physical-world workflows, not just simulations
  • Huge scope for technical ownership and creative problem-solving
  • Mission-driven environment focused on breakthrough autonomy
  • Competitive salary + strong equity in a fast-scaling AI organization


Interested?

If you’re passionate about building reliable, intelligent agent systems at the cutting edge of AI and autonomy, we’d love to speak.
