TL;DR

As a Staff Software Engineer in the AI systems team, you will design and build next-generation intelligent platforms that integrate software, models, and automation. Your daily tasks include creating deployable, self-improving systems through agent-driven workflows, evaluation frameworks, and protocol-based integrations (MCP). You will work on end-to-end agentic systems capable of multi-step reasoning and tool execution, develop AI-assisted development workflows, and build scalable services supporting real-time and batch use cases. The team emphasizes rapid iteration, practical impact, and systems that learn from usage in ambiguous problem spaces. Required skills include experience with production systems integrating AI/ML components, proficiency in Python for backend development, and hands-on work with evaluation and feedback loops. Familiarity with LLM-based systems and protocol-driven architectures is a plus.
