AI Engineer, Production Agents

About this role

Join Guild.ai as a founding AI engineer to design and ship production agents that help developers understand and operate complex systems. You'll be a power user of the platform itself, building some of the first real-world agents while shaping the engineering practices and infrastructure that future teams will rely on.

What you'll do

• Design, implement, and deploy production agents on the Guild.ai platform that solve real developer problems
• Integrate agents with developer tools like source control, CI/CD, and observability platforms
• Implement monitoring, guardrails, and debugging tooling to ensure agent reliability and transparency
• Collaborate with product and ML teams to define agent behaviors, metrics, and iteration strategies
• Provide feedback on platform APIs and abstractions based on hands-on agent development experience
• Help establish best practices and libraries for agent engineering within the organization

What they're looking for

• Strong Python proficiency with familiarity in TypeScript or modern backend frameworks
• Hands-on experience building with LLMs (prompting, tool calling, RAG, workflows) in production
• Systems design and distributed/event-driven architecture
• Production observability, logging, and debugging practices
• End-to-end feature ownership and complex systems development
• API design and integrations
• Product thinking and clear communication

Benefits

• Significant equity stake in early-stage venture-backed startup
• Comprehensive health benefits (medical, dental, vision)
• Flexible PTO policy
