Agent Engineer
About the Role
This is an Agent Engineer role at an early-stage AI productivity startup building an autonomous executive assistant. You will work at the intersection of agent systems, platform engineering, integrations, and product development, turning frontier model capabilities into reliable features that users can trust with real work.
What You'll Do
Investigate advances in reasoning, planning, memory, tool use, and agent collaboration to identify new product capabilities.
Translate promising model behaviors into reliable, reusable skills and workflows that solve real user problems.
Build and evolve a custom Python agent harness, including execution loops, orchestration, context management, structured outputs, retries, and error recovery.
Design agent tools and integrations across email, calendars, messaging platforms, browsers, documents, CRMs, and business software.
Own capabilities end-to-end across the Python agent, Django services, React interfaces, data models, background jobs, observability, and production operations.
Build platform abstractions that make capabilities easier to compose, extend, and maintain as the product grows.
