About the role

Senior and Staff Full Stack Software Engineer roles focused on building Dots product experiences from the interface through the services that power them, enabling persistent, asynchronous agent experiences.

Responsibilities

  • Build and launch features across web interfaces, APIs, backend services, and data models.
  • Create workflows for task creation, progress updates, agent feedback, and results that remain coherent across sessions and devices.
  • Translate emerging model capabilities into product prototypes with research, product, and design partners.
  • Design clear interfaces between product surfaces and agent execution systems.
  • Improve performance and reliability across the stack, including user-facing latency and recovery from partial failures.
  • Own projects from early exploration through architecture, implementation, launch, and iteration based on user feedback.
  • Help establish technical direction, testing practices, and observability as the product grows.

Qualifications

  • Have significant experience building and shipping products across frontend and backend systems.
  • Can move comfortably between user interfaces, service design, APIs, and data modeling.
  • Bring strong product instincts and care about making complex capabilities understandable to users.
  • Have taken ambiguous ideas from concept to production and made practical tradeoffs between iteration speed and long-term maintainability.
  • Understand asynchronous workflows and can reason about state, consistency, and failure across system boundaries.
  • Collaborate effectively with design, product, research, and engineering partners.
  • Have owned complex engineering projects and helped other engineers make sound technical decisions.
  • Experience launching new consumer products, building agent or workflow applications, or working in small teams with broad engineering ownership is especially relevant.
  • Prior experience with AI or machine learning is helpful, but not required.
