AI Engineer, Production Agents

Role Overview

We’re looking for a founding engineer focused on building production agents—someone who will push our platform to its limits by creating some of the first real-world agents that developers rely on. This isn’t a typical “apply-the-API” role. As the engineer responsible for our first production agents, you’ll be at the intersection of product, infrastructure, and AI.

What You Will Do

Build the First Production Agents: Design, implement, and ship some of the earliest agents built on the Guild.ai platform—agents that developers will use to understand, debug, and evolve complex software systems.

Why It Might Be a Fit

If you’re excited by 0→1 systems, love owning features end-to-end, and want to work hands-on with LLMs and agents in real production environments, this role is for you.

Requirements

• Strong software engineering background and experience owning complex features or systems end-to-end.
• Hands-on experience building with LLMs (e.g., prompting, tool calling, function calling, RAG, workflows) in a production or high-stakes environment.
• Proficiency in Python and comfort with TypeScript or modern web/backend stacks
• Ability to design and reason about distributed or event-driven systems, APIs, and integrations.
• A practical mindset around reliability: logging, observability, debugging, and iterative hardening of systems in production.
• Comfort operating in a high-ambiguity, high-ownership startup environment.
• Clear communication and a strong product sense—you care that what you build solves real problems for engineers.

Benefits

• Significant equity in an early-stage, venture-backed startup
• Comprehensive Health Benefits (Medical, Dental, Vision)
• Flexible PTO to ensure you have the time you need to recharge
