About the role

Warp is seeking an Applied AI Engineer to build Warp Agent capabilities that automate and orchestrate HR, finance, and people operations. You will design, implement, and deploy agentic features and runtimes, extend permissions and observability, and collaborate with leadership to enable scalable, auditable AI-powered workflows across Warp’s platform and apps.

Responsibilities

  • Ship agentic features end to end, from the model call to the UI, across HRIS, payroll, benefits, IT, and more
  • Build and extend Warp Agent's harness: tool-calling, durable execution for long-running work (triggers, scheduling, wait and resume), and a run log that makes every agent action auditable
  • Design evals and guardrails for workflows where mistakes are costly, and decide when an agent acts on its own versus asks for approval
  • Build new agent workflows and expand what customers can configure and author themselves
  • Extend our permission model to agents so every action respects who the agent is working for
  • Build internal agents and tooling that remove manual work across Warp's own teams
  • Build new surfaces for interactions with Warp agent across the web app, employee app, mobile app, and slack
  • Collaborate directly with the CTO and CEO

Qualifications

  • Strong full-stack engineering skills and expertise in a modern, strongly typed language
  • A track record of building production AI systems: agents, tool use, retrieval, or structured extraction
  • Experience designing reliable backend systems
  • High agency. You figure things out.
  • Willingness to work from our NYC office five days a week
