- Rapidly design, build, and iterate on proofs of concept that integrate agentic AI solutions into real‑world workflows.
- Explore high‑risk, high‑reward ideas with an eye toward surfacing scalable, high‑impact opportunities.
- Treat experimentation as the core product focusing on speed, learning, and insight generation.





Creative Problem Solving

- Approach problems with an explorers mindset finding unconventional, creative, and novel ways to apply AI.

- Blend engineering rigor with bold experimentation.

Agentic AI Expertise

- Experiment with multi‑agent systems, orchestration frameworks, and emerging LLM tooling.
- Push the limits of AI‑driven automation, human‑in‑the‑loop systems, and autonomous agents.
- Establish patterns for safety, observability, and guardrails in experimental contexts.
- Share results both successes and failures openly to inform future bets.
- Partner with product and research teams to evaluate feasibility and impact of promising prototypes.
- Advocate for an experimentation‑first culture within the engineering org.

Minimum Qualifications

- 5+ years building and delivering production or experimental software systems.
- Strong coding ability in at least one statically typed language (Go, Java, C#) and one scripting language (Python, TypeScript, Bash).
- Hands‑on experience with AI/LLM tooling, including prompt engineering and agent frameworks.
- Proven ability to independently scope, prototype, and deliver fast‑turnaround projects.
- Comfort with ambiguity, high failure rates, and rapid iteration cycles.
- Curiosity‑driven mindset with a demonstrated track record of creative problem solving.

Preferred / Bonus Skills

- Prior experience working in labs, skunkworks teams, or exploratory R&D; groups.
- Familiarity with multi‑agent orchestration, autonomous systems, and reinforcement learning.
- Exposure to design thinking, rapid prototyping, or innovation sprints.
- Background in human‑computer interaction or applied AI research.
- Remote‑first with optional hub meet‑ups; hardware & co‑working stipend.
- Flexible core hours (overlap 9 a.m. 3 p.m. ET).
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage in Canada & the U.S.
- Generous vacation, paid learning days, and annual budget for conferences or AI tooling subscriptions.
