Job Description

Software Engineer, High Growth Start-UP, AI Platform (Python / LLM Agents)

New York City

I'm working with a well-funded AI platform company in Manhattan, founded by early engineers from some of the best-known data infrastructure companies in the market. Large enterprises use their product to let non-engineers build production apps on their own company data, with IT keeping full control of access and audit.

They're growing a small, senior engineering team and are looking for a Software Engineer to work on the AI agent at the core of the product.

The Role

You'll join a team of experienced engineers who have built widely used open-source data tools, and you'll own real parts of the platform from day one. This is hands-on work on an agent that writes, runs, debugs and tests code for enterprise customers.

Typical work includes:

• Building the AI coding agent that generates, runs and debugs application code
• Developing the agent's memory layer so it learns each customer's schema, APIs and systems
• Working on sandboxing and code isolation so generated code runs safely
• Designing backend services and data models behind the platform
• Improving how the agent tests and QAs the apps it builds

Tech Stack

Python, LLM APIs, agent orchestration frameworks, PostgreSQL, distributed backend services, modern cloud infrastructure.

What they're looking for

• 3+ years of software engineering experience
• Hands-on experience building agentic AI systems or LLM applications in production
• Strong backend engineering and database design skills in Python
• Background at a high-growth startup or infrastructure company is beneficial
• Experience with security, sandboxing or distributed systems is a plus

The Opportunity

• Work on the core AI agent at a well-funded company with serious enterprise customers
• Join a small, senior team early, with real ownership over what you build
• $200,000 to $240,000 base plus equity
• H1B transfers, OPT and TN are supported
