Key skills for this role
This is a founding-level individual contributor role at an agentic integration platform serving the real economy, where agents perform real work with real consequences in production systems. You will own the agent layer end-to-end, working directly with the CTO to define how every agent gets built, measured, and improved. It is a rare opportunity to set the patterns for production-scale agentic systems at a stage where the playbook is still being written.

It is a rare opportunity to set the patterns for production-scale agentic systems at a stage where the playbook is still being written.
Own the full agent layer: context engineering, self-learning systems, evals, the harness, and the meta-harness.
Build a compounding knowledge base of undocumented systems so that each new integration is better than the last.
Design and ship self-healing workflows where agents detect, diagnose, and autonomously recover from production failures.
Build and maintain the meta-harness that lets the team create, evaluate, and evolve new agents in days.
Set engineering patterns for how agentic systems are built and measured across the organisation.
Help hire and grow the team that owns agentic systems, operating as a peer to the founders.
2 to 9 years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong computer science or quantitative foundation.
