Your job is the platform itself: the trigger layer that routes every inbound event from Slack, Linear, GitHub, and the ShopMy product; durable multi-step workflows; human-in-the-loop approvals; agent memory; evals; cost attribution; and the console it's all managed through. You'll partner closely with the agent managers who design and run the agents themselves. It's a small team with broad ownership, and the design challenge is keeping it a true platform - model-agnostic, with diverse triggers, composable workflows, and abstractions that make the next agent cheap to launch instead of a one-off build.</p> <h2>Your Impact to the Role</h2> <ul> <li>Design and evolve the orchestration core: a declarative trigger system spanning Slack, Linear, cron, and HTTP; durable workflows; and agent runs that can suspend and resume around human approval</li> <li>Find the abstractions that keep the platform general, so the next agent or workflow composes existing machinery instead of forking a new code path</li> <li>Build the tool layer that gives agents their capabilities: Slack, Linear, GitHub, Notion, MCP, and a dynamic tool registry</li> <li>Build the management console agent managers use to create, evaluate, and improve agents (React)</li> <li>Make agent behavior legible: run tracing, evals and judges, feedback loops, and per-run cost attribution</li> <li>Design and implement APIs in TypeScript and NestJS backed by Postgres</li> <li>Deploy and operate the platform on AWS (ECS, ALB, CloudFormation, CloudWatch)</li> </ul> <h2>You Are Energized By</h2> <ul> <li>Platform engineering with your users in the building: agent managers build on what you ship, and feedback arrives in hours, not quarters</li> <li>Working where the patterns aren't established yet: durable execution, human-in-the-loop, memory, and evals for nondeterministic systems are problems you'll help define</li> <li>Finding the abstraction that turns a special case into a capability</li> <li>Solving complex technical challenges with clean, efficient, and scalable code</li> </ul> <h2>What We're Looking For</h2> <ul> <li>Strong proficiency in TypeScript, Node.js, and relational databases</li> <li>Experience building systems other engineers build on: internal platforms, frameworks, orchestration or developer tooling, and the API design instincts that come with it</li> <li>Enough hands-on time with LLMs to be comfortable building an agent yourself: tool calling, context and memory, and evaluating nondeterministic behavior</li> <li>Experience building interfaces that make complex systems easy to understand and manage</li> <li>Experience deploying and operating production services on AWS: containers, ECS, ALB, and monitoring with CloudWatch or similar</li> <li>AI-assisted development (Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) as a core part of how you work</li> <li>Keen attention to detail in code structure and style</li> <li>5+ years of professional software engineering experience</li> </ul> <h2>Bonus Points</h2> <ul> <li>You've built on or operated durable-execution or workflow engines (Temporal or similar), or rolled your own</li> <li>You've shipped agent systems, built with agent frameworks (LangGraph, the Claude Agent SDK, or similar), written MCP servers, or built eval harnesses</li> <li>Experience working in high-growth startups or fast-paced product environments</li> <li>Enjoy mentoring and helping shape engineering best practices and team culture</li> </ul> <p></p><div class="content-pay-transparency"><div class="pay-input"><div class="description"><p>In compliance with New York Pay Transparency Law, the salary range for this position is as shown.
