• Develop features for the North AI workspace platform across the entire product lifecycle
• Own end-to-end use case scoping and execution, including technical decisions across frontend and backend as needed
• Build evaluation frameworks to measure agent reliability, safety, accuracy, and performance
• Travel to customer sites and contribute to organizational engineering standards and patterns

What they're looking for

• Production Python development with clean, testable, observable code
• RAG and agentic systems (ReAct, Plan-and-Execute patterns)
• LLM stack expertise (frontier models, vector databases, orchestration frameworks)
• Enterprise customer engagement and technical leadership
• Evaluation framework design and testing methodologies
• Full-stack technical ownership and ambiguous problem-solving
• API integration and tool orchestration
• System design for reliability and scalability
