Internal deployment & tooling · Evidence for this classification:
a focus on the internal tooling and platforms that power our agent research pipeline. We're looking for engineers who are excited to build the systems that enable and accelerate that collaboration. You'll architect and develop the internal platforms that take our team from raw data to fully-realized agents — evaluating quality and iterating cross-functionally through a React-based frontend atop a Python/FastAPI backend, backed by cloud ML infrastructure. The goal isn't just to support what we're doing today; it's to build a platform where our creative and research teams can experiment, iterate, and push the frontier of what's possible in agentic AI. Responsibilities: Collaborate with research and creative teams to understand their workflows and find opportunities for automation Design and build internal tools that allow engineers and non-engineers to experiment Maintain and iterate
