About This Role

Today, a person reviews every run our agents perform. You’ll build capabilities that help agents work independently for weeks and improve with every correction, starting with memory and long-running execution. You’ll own the evaluations that measure their performance.

You’ll also shape the platform’s product—for example, making agents that collaborate on documents more delightful or making an agent’s work visible as someone moves between Slack and their phone. You’ll architect the agent for where it needs to be a year from now and own it end to end, from infrastructure to user experience.

Requirements

• Degree from a top-20 school
• Experience building production agents or agent platforms at a strong company (for example, a coding agent at Databricks) or at a startup
• Deep, current knowledge of coding and personal agents, with well-founded views on where they work and fail
• Product and design judgment; experience shaping how users experience an agent product
• Openness to AI tools and active use of them to work more effectively
• Experience building evaluations that others have used to make decisions
