Senior Software Engineer - Domestic Wires

• Has 7 or more years of software engineering experience, with deep technical expertise building and scaling LLM-powered applications in production
• Has gone beyond shipping a first version: you have scaled an LLM-powered product, dealt with the reliability and performance problems that come with real usage, and made it better over time
• Has experience designing agentic systems and has opinions about how to architect multi-step workflows that are reliable, explainable, and safe to run on behalf of real users
• Has built eval infrastructure and can write cases that actually measure whether the product works, not just whether the model outputs something plausible
• Understands the real tradeoffs in LLM deployments: latency, cost, compliance, and what breaks in production that doesn't show up in demos
• Has opinions about what makes an AI product trustworthy, not just impressive, and can build toward that bar
• Is comfortable with TypeScript and willing to learn Haskell for backend tool work, or already comfortable with both
• Can work across the full stack of an AI product, from the system prompt to the streaming frontend
• Has a track record of mentoring engineers and raising the technical bar of their team
