Full Description

As one of our first dedicated product engineers, you will: Build the core simulation platform: Create a realistic, containerized environment where AI agents perform software engineering and other professional tasks. Design realistic evaluation scenarios: Independently identify meaningful software engineering tasks, determine clear grading criteria, and select the appropriate tools and workflows that allow AI agents to reliably complete tasks. Develop a consumer software product: This product will serve as a foundation for our simulation platform, where we will task AI agents with building and modifying this product. This will require full stack skills from writing a backend in Python and a frontend with web technologies like React, Typescript, HTML and CSS. Establish engineering standards: Set up automated testing, practical CI/CD pipelines, effective monitoring, and clear processes to ensure high-quality code and quick issue resolution. Influence technical direction: Directly shape product development, make key architectural decisions, and contribute to growing our engineering team at an early-stage startup. You might be a fit if you: Have experience building full-stack software products, including leading at least one significant project from idea to production. Write fluent TypeScript (React) and Python, and are comfortable with deployments in Kubernetes-based environments. Have practical experience with designing robust CI/CD processes, automated testing strategies, and effective monitoring and observability.
