About the role

Senior software engineer role focused on building and operating a platform for deploying and evaluating AI agents for conservation-focused applications (EarthRanger, Skylight, OlmoEarth). Involves core platform, UI/CLI/SDK, developer experience, and working closely with partners to ship and iterate based on real user feedback.

Responsibilities

  • Build and evolve the platform's core capabilities and interfaces.
  • Own the experience of authoring agents on the platform, from the first build all the way through production deployment.
  • Build the UI, CLI, and SDK that authors use to deploy agents, run evals, and understand what happened.
  • Develop our own internal agents on the platform and operate them in production.
  • Write the docs, quickstarts, and example agents that get an outside developer from an idea to a running agent.
  • Decide with the team what to work on next, and fix what blocks users before starting larger features.
  • Write small tools and skills that make the team faster.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience.
  • Experience across the stack: web UIs, backend services, CLIs, and cloud tooling. You move between them as the work needs.
  • A track record of shipping products to external users and talking with those users directly.
  • Good judgment about priorities: you fix blockers first and keep scope small.
  • Clean, tested code, and experience reviewing other people's code.
  • Opinions about API design, and a preference for simple designs over clever ones.
  • Daily use of AI coding tools such as Claude Code, including writing your own skills or tools.
  • Willingness to write documentation as part of the work rather than after it.
  • Clear technical communication with engineers and non-engineers.
