About the Job

Requirements

  • Experience building or operating backend systems in production.
  • Experience designing backends for large language model-powered systems where latency, cost, and non-determinism are first-class concerns.
  • Ability to design and operate production systems with observability, incident response, and capacity planning.
  • Strong understanding of queues and idempotency.
  • Ability to provide a link to a backend system built or operated and explain a production decision defended on a whiteboard.

Responsibilities

  • Own the agent backend end-to-end, including model orchestration, tool-use plumbing, agent state, retries, and observability.
  • Own the data plane behind agent actions, including PostgreSQL schema, caching, queues, and event streams at original equipment manufacturer scale.
  • Own production service-level agreements, on-call operations, and the reliability bar for agent cloud systems.
  • Ship research work to real users and provide feedback based on production failures.
  • Provide backends that forward-deployed engineers and partners can integrate against.
  • Collaborate with iOS and Android teams to determine the appropriate division between on-device and cloud computing.
  • Teach backend design for large language model-powered systems, including latency, cost, and non-determinism considerations.
  • Teach production-system operation, including observability, incident response, and capacity planning.
  • Learn the internals of agentic systems and agent infrastructure at original equipment manufacturer scale.
  • Learn on-device and cloud co-design, including when to place computation on the phone versus in the cloud.
  • Ship meaningful changes to the agent backend, take on-call shifts, own a major backend surface, shape service reliability and observability standards, and influence architecture for partner launches and infrastructure supporting 10 million devices.

About the Company

AGI, Inc.

Advanced AI for natural language understanding

AGI, Inc. develops and deploys highly capable artificial intelligence systems focused on natural language understanding. Its product is a software system that processes language using deep learning models to understand and answer questions, aiming to perform at human-level accuracy on standard NLU benchmarks such as SQuAD. Unlike many AI developers that target broad capabilities, AGI, Inc. centers on advancing NLU performance on established datasets, with the goal of solving core language understanding challenges. The company measures its progress by achieving human-level results on benchmark datasets and applying its technology to real-world language tasks.
