Responsibilities
• Build and ship features end-to-end for Taktile's AI agent platform: backend in Python (FastAPI) on AWS serverless infrastructure, and frontend in React and TypeScript. • Build conversational copilot experiences end to end: chat UI components, streaming responses, rich in-chat interactions, and human-in-the-loop approvals. • Improve how agents run, how they connect to external tools, and how they behave when something goes wrong. • Own your work end-to-end: collaborate on scope, implement, test, release, and iterate based on real usage and customer feedback. • Use leading-edge AI tools (e.g. Claude) on a daily basis to move faster, improve quality, and build AI-native capabilities where it makes sense. • Review pull requests with depth, improve test coverage and CI/CD, and raise the bar on reliability and engineering excellence. • Engage actively in team rituals such as daily syncs, planning sessions, demos, and technical deep-dive discussions. • Grow as an individual and accelerate your career by learning from experienced team members, contributing to a foundational layer of the product, and joining cross-team learning groups. • For career growth at Taktile, this role will involve daytime ops duty and at some point joining an on-call rotation, so you need to have passion for owning systems end to end and grow your DevSecOps skills as well.
