About the company

Our client is a fast-growing technology company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Build internal automation and agent-based systems that take over entire jobs from start to finish, embedding with business teams to improve how they work. This is a high-ownership engineering role that combines full stack development with product thinking and close collaboration with internal stakeholders.

What you'll do

- Design and build agent-powered systems that handle complete workflows with little or no human involvement.

- Embed with internal teams to understand their processes and build intelligence directly into their daily work.

- Develop new infrastructure, interfaces and tooling that let people and AI agents work together effectively.

- Gather feedback from internal teams and clients, and iterate quickly on what you ship.

- Take full ownership of projects, being accountable for whether they ship and whether they work.

- Break down open-ended, novel problems and design solutions that compound over time.

- Use coding agents and modern LLM tooling in your daily engineering work.

Requirements

What we're looking for

- Hands-on experience building AI agents, with informed opinions on which models suit which use cases.

- A history of owning significant projects in a small, quickly moving technology company, whether as a founder or as an early engineer.

- Stable tenure of at least 2 years at each employer, with clear career progression.

- Expertise in at least one full stack language, paired with a strong product mindset.

- Experience working with agent SDKs and LLM tools beyond basic chatbots.

- Product management skills, including working directly with clients and internal teams.

- High tolerance for ambiguity and the autonomy to solve open-ended problems independently.

- Willingness to work in person five days a week.

Bonus points

- Interest in becoming a founder in the future.

- Undergraduate degree from a highly ranked global university.
