Software Engineer — LLM Agents & Automation Systems

Software Engineer — LLM Agents & Automation Systems

SF Bay Area | On-site

We’re representing a frontier AI research group building autonomous systems that can reason, plan, and execute real engineering workflows.

If you’ve worked on LLM applications, tool-calling systems, workflow engines, automation platforms, or reliability-heavy backend systems — this role will make sense, even if you’ve never held the title “Agent Systems Engineer.”

⭐ The Opportunity

Join a small, high-performing team building the systems that let AI agents reliably:

✅ break down complex tasks

✅ choose the right tools

✅ execute multi-step workflows

✅ recover from failures

✅ deliver consistent outcomes (not just good demos)

This is the engineering layer that turns LLMs into real autonomous software.

What You’ll Do

• Build the workflow + orchestration layer that powers LLM-driven agents
• Design structured interfaces for tool use, actions, and task execution
• Implement reliability features like retries, rollback, checkpointing, and reproducibility
• Connect agents to real-world engineering tools, APIs, and data systems
• Work closely with ML + infra teams to ship production-grade autonomy

What We’re Looking For

You might be a great fit if you’ve built things like:

• LLM tool-calling / function-calling systems
• Workflow engines, orchestrators, automation platforms
• Backend systems where correctness + failure handling really matter
• Structured pipelines (state machines, planners, evaluators, task runners)
• Strong engineering fundamentals + comfort in fast-paced environments are key.

Why This Role Excites People

• Build autonomy that impacts real workflows (not just prototypes)
• High ownership over architecture + system design
• Work alongside researchers + engineers pushing the frontier
• Competitive salary + strong equity upside
