Key skills for this role
Sylvan is building autonomous revenue teams.
We help B2B companies grow and protect revenue from their existing customers by identifying revenue-driving signals and deploying agents that act on them at the exact moment, across every account. We work with customers ranging from fast-growth startups to Fortune 500 enterprises like ServiceNow. Our ambition is to power the top-line of the economy.
We are guided by a core principle: no assholes, high mutual respect. We operate at high intensity, but with deep respect. Direct, honest, and no egos — just a shared obsession to win.
We’ve raised $10M+ from world-class investors and strategics including TQ Ventures and HubSpot Ventures. We are a fully in-office company based in New York City.
Lead the design and delivery of production-grade revenue agents. We believe the best engineering leaders stay close to the work. You operate as an IC for your first 3-6 months, then evolve into managing and growing the team while continuing to ship yourself.
Set the engineering bar for a team where agents write most of the code. Review standards, definition of done, release cadence, on-call, incident response, sprint scope and sequencing. You inherit two strong engineers and hire everyone who comes after, which includes performance management and the conversations nobody wants to have.
Own the architecture behind our core agent platform. The ontology and semantic layer that reconciles every customer's warehouse into one representation, the signal pipeline that sits on top of it, and the transformer work ahead of us. You make the build-versus-buy calls and the infra cost decisions.

More from this employer
Share technical direction with our CTO and shape the platform. Product roadmap and sequencing, ML approach, model strategy, hiring loop design, closing candidates. Your team's work across deployments decides which patterns generalize into the world model and which are artifacts of a single warehouse. Shangyan holds final say on ML direction and product, and we are hiring someone who will disagree with him and be right often enough to matter.
4+ years of industry experience in software engineering
Deep, current ML across both eras: feature engineering, uplift and causal methods, time series, and calibration alongside transformers, world models, and agent architectures
End-to-end delivery ownership somewhere nobody above you was catching failures, where you built the scaffolding rather than inheriting it working
Fluency in agent-driven development as a practice, having changed how your team reviews, tests, and specs work because of it
Data-intensive B2B product background: warehouse-native, per-tenant, enterprise data access
High tolerance for ambiguity and unglamorous work
Strong communication skills and ability to work directly with enterprise customers
