Job description

About the role
This role focuses on designing and building agentic systems that power creative workflows for short-form video. You'll help shape how AI agents reduce friction, accelerate learning, and unlock new creative possibilities for our users — building agents that can take creative actions on a user's behalf — while experimenting with emerging models and techniques to bring these experiences to life in production.

Software Engineers on the agents team work across product, machine-learning, and systems engineering — owning meaningful problems end-to-end and helping define how our agents are built and deployed across the product.

While we don’t use hierarchical titles or levels internally, we are currently hiring engineers who have operated at senior or staff+ scope.

Responsibilities

Build and ship end-to-end agentic systems that meaningfully improve creative workflows, balancing quality, performance, and reliability

Design agent architectures — how agents gather context, plan, select tools, and execute creative tasks reliably at scale

Integrate state-of-the-art models, combining internal research and external capabilities to power new agent experiences

Measure and improve agent quality in production, using experimentation, evaluation frameworks, and real-world feedback to guide iteration

What Makes You a Great Fit

5+ years of professional industry experience

A track record of designing and developing ML systems or agentic pipelines in production

Deep experience with context engineering: RAG systems, token optimization, context management at scale

Experience building evaluation systems and agentic infrastructure (context gathering, tool selection, multi-step planning)

Exceptional problem solving fundamentals and ability to learn quickly in a rapidly evolving space

Able to operate effectively in an extremely fast-paced environment and scope and deliver projects end-to-end

Even better if...

You have worked with multi-agent architectures

You have experience fine-tuning LLMs for specific use cases

You have a pulse on where generative media and agentic AI technology is going

You are grounded, collaborative, and willing to do whatever it takes to help the team win

You have been a startup founder or an early engineer at one
