Senior Software Engineer, Applied AI

• Own the build out of new agents, skills, and platform capability for teams across TLDR.

• Build and deploy agents end to end, from design through implementation, evals, and rollout to internal users.

• Write the evals and specs that define what good looks like, so workflow quality is measurable rather than anecdotal.

• Partner with our Applied AI PM on what to build, and make the smaller product calls independently.

• Work directly with stakeholders in sales, revenue ops, editorial, and people ops to find where an LLM belongs in their process.
  
  

• Every workflow at the company improves as model capabilities improve.

• Teams write specs and evals and define what good looks like, rather than executing manually, and their processes improve as models improve without anyone rebuilding them.

• Work becomes increasingly push vs pull, by default work is done by LLMs and humans are brought in as needed.

• You ship end to end and don't wait for someone to spec the small stuff.

• You have product judgment: you can say what you chose not to build, and why.

• You're comfortable in a domain where settled practice doesn't exist yet.

• You can sit with non-engineering stakeholders and find where an LLM belongs in their process.

• The way you build has changed as models have gotten better, and you treat capability improvement as a design input.

• You want surface area across nearly every function of a profitable, bootstrapped company, with no legacy systems to fight, direct CEO access, and an unlimited token budget.
