Location

Why this role is remarkable

  • Significant founding equity and architectural ownership at a company founded by the team that built Moveworks (acquired for $2.85B by ServiceNow).
  • Backed by top-tier investors including Bain Capital Ventures and prominent angels from Anthropic, ServiceNow, Salesforce, and Meta.
  • Unique opportunity to apply RL and reasoning research to real-world enterprise infrastructure with immediate Fortune 500 demand and traction.

What You Will Do

  • Architect hierarchical planners and multi-agent coordination systems (planner ⇄ executor ⇄ verifier) to automate complex enterprise workflows.
  • Design and implement RL and preference optimization loops that improve agent performance based on business outcomes and real-world deployment data.
  • Build robust evaluation suites and sandboxing strategies to ensure safe, repeatable, and auditable autonomous changes in regulated environments.

The ideal candidate

  • 3 years of experience shipping production-grade ML or LLM systems with a deep understanding of API orchestration and async workflows.
  • Strong engineering fundamentals in TypeScript and experience operationalizing research into reliable, scalable software systems.
  • A builder-scientist hybrid mindset with expertise or high curiosity in fine-tuning, RLHF, and agentic reasoning frameworks.

Who are Jack & Jill?

Ok, I'll go first. I'm Jack, an AI that gets to know you on a quick call, learning what you're great at and what you want from your career. Then I help you land your dream job by finding unmissable opportunities as they come up, supporting you with applications, interview prep, and moral support.

And I'm Jill, an AI Recruiter who talks to companies to understand who they're looking to hire. Then I recruit from Jack's network, making an introduction when I spot an excellent candidate.

How does this work?

  • Jack's an AI agent for job searching and career coaching. He works for you.
  • Jill is the AI recruiter working for the company. She recruits from Jack's network.
  • If it's a match and the company wants to meet you, they'll make the intro. In the meantime, if you'd like, Jack will send you excellent alternatives.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.

Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.

We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
