AI Agent Engineer

Love Freedom Solution
Sunnyvale, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 5/19/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 11/14/2026
Coding Agents | LLM Systems | Runtime Orchestration | Consumer Social AI

Remote, Pacific Time Hours Required

Recruiting Partner: Lovefreedom Solution

Lovefreedom Solution is partnering with a fast-growing consumer social AI startup building what can be described as the TikTok of interactive mini-apps. Sekai is creating a new way for users to turn natural language into playable, shareable digital experiences, powered by a proprietary coding agent.

This is a rare opportunity to join one of the few U.S.-based consumer social startups scaling in the AI era. With 1M monthly active users, strong product-market signal, and $30M raised from a16z, Mayfield, and Khosla, Sekai is entering a major growth phase with a reported $150M post-money valuation and Series A momentum.

As an AI Agent Engineer, you will own and set the technical bar for Sekai’s coding agent, the core engine that transforms user prompts into working interactive mini-apps. This is a high-ownership role for an engineer who has built real agentic systems in production and understands tool use, orchestration, repair loops, evaluation frameworks, and model strategy.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Sekai is not building another AI wrapper. The coding agent is the product’s moat.

You will be designing the system that turns natural language into playable experiences for more than 1M monthly active users. This means your work will directly shape how users create, interact, and publish AI-generated mini-apps at scale.

The company is backed by top-tier investors including a16z, Mayfield, and Khosla, and is led by a CEO with deep consumer social experience as a former Director of Product Management at ByteDance. That combination of AI infrastructure, consumer product DNA, and real user traction makes this a rare seat for someone who wants to build at the edge of agentic systems and social creation.

What You Will Do

As an AI Agent Engineer, you will own the architecture and execution of Sekai’s coding agent runtime. You will design how the agent plans, generates, validates, repairs, and publishes interactive mini-apps from natural language prompts.

This is a technical lead-level scope from day one. You will not inherit legacy architecture or sit inside a narrow lane. Sekai has built its own agent framework from scratch, which means you will help define the technical direction, quality standards, evaluation systems, and long-term reliability of the core product engine.

Core Responsibilities

In this role, you will:

  • Design and own the agent runtime and orchestration layer for Sekai’s coding agent
  • Build long-horizon agent workflows across prompt, planning, generation, execution, validation, repair, and publishing
  • Develop reliable agent loops involving tool use, orchestration, error handling, and repair flows
  • Build robust evaluation systems, including eval harnesses, regression suites, quality checks, and failure taxonomies
  • Design model strategies, including routing, benchmarking, reliability improvements, and cost/latency optimization
  • Create debuggable agent systems with tracing, metrics, alerts, and observability
  • Improve agent performance, reliability, and user-facing output quality
  • Work across product, engineering, and AI systems to turn natural language into polished interactive experiences
  • Stay current on modern agent frameworks, open-source tools, model releases, and evaluation tooling
  • Help set the technical bar for agentic development in a fast-moving consumer AI environment

Key Requirements

Qualified candidates should have:

  • 3–8 years of experience building and shipping production-level AI agentic systems
  • Experience building agentic systems involving tool use, orchestration, and repair loops
  • Experience shipping and operating complex systems in production
  • Strong proficiency in Python or TypeScript
  • Experience developing evaluation frameworks for AI or LLM systems
  • Familiarity with eval harnesses, regression testing, and failure taxonomies
  • Familiarity with modern agent frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, or similar tools
  • Strong systems thinking and the ability to design reliable, debuggable AI infrastructure
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field
  • Native or native-level Mandarin proficiency
  • Ability to work remotely on Pacific Time hours
  • Availability for a Sunday evening standup

Strongly Preferred Experience

The strongest candidates may also have:

  • Experience at a VC-backed AI startup
  • Experience at a coding agent, developer tools, or IDE assistant company
  • Hands-on experience building a coding agent, devtool, or AI-powered IDE assistant
  • Experience with model routing, benchmarking, latency optimization, and reliability testing
  • Deep familiarity with agent frameworks, AI infrastructure, and the current open-source agent ecosystem
  • Track record of building AI systems used by real users in production

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is an AI-native systems builder.

You have built real agentic systems, not just demos. You understand the difference between something that works once in a prototype and something that can reliably generate, validate, repair, and ship user-facing output at scale.

You think deeply about orchestration, observability, evaluation, failure modes, latency, and quality loops. You are comfortable designing architecture from the ground up and making decisions that become the foundation for the product.

You actively follow the latest agent framework releases, open-source updates, model capabilities, and eval tooling. You are hands-on, product-aware, and excited by the challenge of turning natural language into usable, interactive experiences for a large consumer audience.

Why Candidates Should Be Interested

This role offers rare ownership at the center of a high-growth consumer AI product.

You Will Work On

  • A product with 1M monthly active users
  • A coding agent that serves as the company’s core technical moat
  • Greenfield architecture with room to set the technical bar
  • A consumer social AI company backed by a16z, Mayfield, and Khosla
  • A company with $30M raised and a reported $150M valuation
  • A founding team with deep consumer social experience
  • End-to-end ownership across runtime, evals, model strategy, and agent reliability

For someone who wants to build the next generation of coding agents inside a consumer product with real usage, this is a highly compelling opportunity.

Compensation

The expected base salary range is:

$150,000 – $250,000 base salary equity

Final compensation may vary based on experience, technical depth, and overall fit.
