WHAT YOU'LL DO - Build high-throughput, high-concurrency systems that capture activity from client desktop environments. - Develop privacy and redaction systems to keep sensitive data appropriately protected. - Model recorded work as structured process knowledge, including knowledge graphs. - Build coding-agent systems that generate software and support deploying it into production. - Work directly with clients to install desktop agents, map workflows, and deliver automation. - Turn practical, end-to-end client work into scalable product capabilities. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - At least 2 years of experience shipping production software end to end, including owning features from design through deployment. - Experience working directly with clients or customers in a technical role. - Experience building LLMs or AI agents into production systems. - Strong full-stack or backend skills in TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, or a similar language. - Interest in a high-ownership, early-stage role with ambiguity and broad product responsibilities. - Experience with high-throughput or high-concurrency systems, Rust, desktop applications or agents, or coding-agent and code-generation systems is valuable. - Familiarity with Tauri, Electron, Windows, PostgreSQL, Next.js, or Azure is useful.
