Hey, I’m Teddy https://www.linkedin.com/in/teddy-ni/, CTO & co-founder at Magic Patterns! Our engineering team has grown a lot over the last few months here in San Francisco. About Magic Patterns Our mission is to let anyone build delightful software. We're a lean team where everyone contributes directly to the product. If you’re an AI engineer, our roadmap is probably a goldmine of things you’ve always wanted to work on: - An AI agent that thousands of users use religiously everyday - Evals with a self-improving agent loop - Context engineering - Post-training on design output The most common piece of feedback we get is "I tried a bunch of tools but your design quality output is by far the best." We want to push the limits even further. About this role - Own our eval system that feeds into our self-improving agent loop - Push and define the limits of what AI can do in design. Today, we are state of the art, and we want to continue to push that. - Collaborate with the product team to bring novel solutions to improve agent quality from the perspective of our users - Decide what to work on to improve our AI Design agent. The list above are open problems, not assignments This role might be a fit if you... - Use AI tools in your daily workflow - Have experience with AI models and/or have worked on an AI agent before - Have experience building eval systems, post-training, context engineering - Strong first-principles thinker that can distill complex problems Our Values 1. Obsessive — we love exploring every corner of the hardest problems. 2. Growth-minded — where you are today matters less than how fast you are growing 3. Ownership — insist on high standards and craftsmanship. 4. Spread the magic — for many people, Magic Patterns is “magic.” Be proud of your work and have fun! Compensation and benefits: - Rapid career growth at one of the fastest growing Series A companies - Competitive salary and equity package - 20 days off PTO - Health, dental, and vision coverage - Fun team offsites and events — we went to Mexico last year!
