Remote Junior NA Artificial Intelligence Developer Tools Software Engineer Enterprise Architect Git Python Claude Cursor Plane Governance

Requirements

• 5+ years as a software engineer building production systems • 1+ years of hands-on experience building AI agents or agentic automations • Experience building backend or platform services: APIs, long-running systems, and the data and observability layers around them • Strong proficiency in Python and modern developer workflows (CI/CD, Git-based collaboration, developer tooling) • Fluency with the agentic toolkit: LLMs, prompt and context design, tool/API integration, MCP, evaluation, and workflow orchestration • An outcomes-driven mindset; you measure whether agents actually save engineers time, and iterate relentlessly until they do • Bonus: experience with auditing, observability, or governance/control-plane systems; AI developer tools (OpenHands, Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor); or significant open-source contribution

Responsibilities

• Build and evolve the automation server, the system that runs agentic automations reliably and at scale • Build the control plane around it: auditing, visibility, observability, and governance so enterprises can see and trust what their agents are doing • Build reference agents and automations including high-quality, reusable examples (code review, CVE remediation, Issue-to-PR, test generation, broader SDLC workflows) that establish best practices and seed adoption • Design agent workflows end to end: tool and API integration (MCP, skills, plugins), context and memory management, and multi-step orchestration with human-in-the-loop where it matters • Instrument and evaluate agents by measuring reliability, cost, latency, and outcomes and harden them into something teams can depend on • Work across Product, the Enterprise team, and Forward-Deployed Engineering to turn what works into durable product capabilities

Benefits

• Competitive compensation: $170K–$225K base salary, plus bonus and equity • Fully remote with flexible hours (core hours 12–4pm ET / 4–8pm UTC) • Comprehensive U.S. health, vision, and dental insurance; unmetered PTO; 401(k) • Collaborate with world-class engineers, product builders, and AI researchers • Sit at the center of our push to automate the SDLC, building both the platform and the reference agents that define what's possible • A culture built on kindness, candor, autonomy, and learning • We Welcome All Applicants • We're committed to building an inclusive, supportive environment where everyone can thrive. We celebrate diversity and do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other protected characteristic. If you're passionate about helping developers succeed and excited about the future of AI-powered tooling, we'd love to hear from you.
