About the role

We're building agentic AI systems that can reason, act, and operate reliably in messy, real-world environments - across chat, voice, and full computer-use interfaces. As an Applied ML engineer, you'll help build the core intelligence powering these systems: reasoning, planning, grounding, memory, evaluation, and reliability. This is a deeply technical, high-ownership role. You'll work directly with founders, shape the technical direction, and ship systems that are used in real-world, high-stakes environments.


Responsibilities:

  • Design and implement reasoning and planning systems for real production workflows.
  • Build robust tool orchestration, grounding, and execution frameworks.
  • Develop memory, context, and state management for long-horizon tasks.
  • Create evaluation systems that measure correctness, reliability, and performance.
  • Work across chat, voice, and UI-based agents to make them coordinated and dependable.
  • Translate research ideas into production systems.
  • Partner closely with founders and customers to iterate quickly and ship.
  • Help define engineering culture, standards, and early technical direction.


Requirements:

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience.
  • 2+ years building and shipping LLM or agentic systems in production.
  • Experience with evals, memory, retrieval, and grounding architectures.
  • Comfort operating in ambiguous, open-ended problem spaces.
  • Strong bias toward building reliable, measurable, testable systems.
  • Product intuition - you care about real users and real outcomes.
  • Clear communication and strong collaboration skills.


Bonus:

  • Experience with fine-tuning or reinforcement learning.
  • Experience building multimodal agents (voice, computer-use).
  • Experience in healthcare or other regulated environments.
