Job Description
- Routing and capacity. Every model call has to be placed against latency, cost, and quality targets in real time, and the scheduling, reservations, and forecasting underneath have to keep those decisions honest as demand shifts. Getting this right is what makes running agents economical at all.
- Metering and billing correctness. Two charging layers, hold and capture semantics, and 270M+ consumption events that all have to reconcile — in a ledger and in a usage number a customer is reading right now. Metering is the product here, not a feature, which means the correctness bar is unusually high.
- Reliability at sustained scale. We’ve taken a 10–20x increase that kept compounding week over week for months. The open question is what reliability should mean here, and what observability, incident practice, and architecture get us ahead of the growth rather than reacting to it.
- The control plane. Credential-scoped permissions, workflow state limits, gateway hardening. These are the decisions that determine how much authority a customer can safely hand an agent — largely unsettled, and consequential.
- Agent execution. Sandboxed runs, state, memory, tools, and the external integrations agents depend on, at tens of thousands of runs a day.
You may be a fit if
- You have strong engineering fundamentals and write good code quickly.
- You’ve shipped something that ran in production and that you were responsible for when it broke — at a job, an internship, or a project of your own.
- You take problems from “this should exist” to shipped without much structure around you.
- You move between backend, infrastructure, and tooling as the problem requires, rather than staying where you’re most comfortable.
- You make reasonable calls with incomplete information and revise them when you learn more.
- You close gaps fast — you’d rather learn the thing you’re missing than route around it.
- You use AI tools in your own engineering workflow — not instead of judgment, but as a multiplier.
- Nice to have: experience with distributed systems, queues, storage, or observability; systems that talk to a lot of third-party APIs; LLM inference or agent architectures; anything you’ve built and operated yourself at real scale, including side projects.
