About the company

Our client is a fast-growing technology company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own the design and delivery of a conversational AI agent that interacts with consumers at large scale, covering the full cycle from production monitoring through evaluation to iterative improvement. This is an early, high-ownership engineering position where the agent must be both scalable and safe in a regulated setting.

What you'll do

- Coordinate multiple AI agents working together across many parallel programs.

- Review production traces, spot problem scenarios in real conversations, and turn them into evaluation cases.

- Use evaluation results to strengthen the core agent framework.

- Connect external data sources so the agent can reach people at the right moments and respond quickly when new demand appears.

- Scale language-model conversations across voice, text messaging and email while keeping them consistent and personalized.

- Follow developments in agent tooling and research and fold the best ideas into the core software platform.

Requirements

What we're looking for

- A background as an engineer dedicated to agentic systems and large AI applications, for example as an agent engineer, applied AI engineer or startup founder.

- Hands-on experience delivering conversational agents and the frameworks around them at scale, in text or voice.

- Experience developing evaluation and tracing infrastructure for AI agents.

- Bachelor's degree in computer science, mathematics or a related field.

- A strong work ethic and the ability to get yourself unblocked.

- Availability to work in person in the Bay Area and begin within about a month.

Bonus points

- Time spent at an agent-focused startup or a leading AI research lab.

- A track record shipping AI products or conversational experiences aimed at everyday users.

- Interest in or prior exposure to health technology.
