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.
