Software Engineer

Software Engineer [$100-$160/hr]

Software Engineers to power the next generation of intelligent, autonomous agents

Role Responsibilities

• Design, build, and optimise distributed infrastructure for training, deploying, and scaling AI agents across high-performance compute environments
• Develop core backend systems (services, APIs, and orchestration layers) that support agent lifecycles, tool execution, memory access, and multi-agent coordination
• Collaborate closely with research and applied AI teams to integrate model-serving pipelines, agent reasoning loops, memory stores, and planning components into production systems
• Build and maintain agent runtime infrastructure, including task scheduling, state management, inter-agent communication, and execution reliability
• Implement monitoring, observability, and fault-tolerance mechanisms for long-running agent processes and distributed workflows
• Evaluate and improve system performance across compute, networking, storage, and inference layers, identifying and resolving bottlenecks
• Participate in synchronous collaboration sessions (4-hour windows, 2–3 times per week) to review architecture decisions, troubleshoot distributed systems, and iterate on design improvements

Requirements

• Strong foundation in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or Systems Design, with experience building large-scale distributed systems
• Proficiency in one or more backend or systems programming languages such as Go, Rust, Python, C++, Java, Scala, C#, Kotlin, or TypeScript/JavaScript
• Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerisation/orchestration tools such as Docker and Kubernetes
• Strong experience designing production-grade backend services, APIs, and distributed systems
• Familiarity with LLM inference pipelines, agent frameworks, multi-agent architectures, or reinforcement learning environments is a strong plus
• Knowledge of networking, data streaming, caching, and performance optimisation in distributed systems
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills
• Ability to commit 30-40 hours per week, including required synchronous collaboration sessions
