AI Agent Systems Software Engineer, Senior
The Opportunity:
As an AI software engineer, you've moved past building simple LLM wrappers and into the harder problem: building agents that interact with structured, deterministic systems, and produce results that are reliable enough to act on. You understand that the real challenge isn't getting a language model to generate text. It's getting an autonomous system to call the right tools in the right order, translate between natural language and formal representations, and know when it has made an error. We are building a platform where AI agents serve as the bridge between human intent and formal computational systems, and we need someone like you to design and build that bridge.
On this team, you'll own the AI agent layer that sits between operators and the platform's core reasoning and modeling capabilities. You'll design agents that can interpret loosely specified requests, discover relevant computational assets, translate requirements into structured inputs that formal systems can evaluate, and explain results back to users in language they can act on. When the underlying systems reject an input or return a counterexample, your agents need to localize the error, suggest corrections, and help users iterate quickly. You'll work with LLMs, tool-use frameworks, and retrieval systems, but always in service of a system where the final answers must be formally grounded, not probabilistically generated.
You'll join a small, elite team where everyone operates at the technical frontier. You'll be the person on the team who makes the system accessible, designing agents that let operators interact with formal reasoning and computational modeling through natural language rather than code. You'll build in a rapid development environment with AI-native tooling, measuring success by whether operators trust and have confidence in your agents.
Join us. The world can't wait.
