About this role

Principal AI Engineer California - San Francisco; Washington - Seattle; Illinois - Chicago; California - Palo Alto; New York - New York; Washington - Bellevue We are seeking a highly skilled AI Platform Engineer to play a pivotal role in building the next generation of our ML/AI platform that doesn't just support ML models, but powers autonomous AI agents at enterprise scale. This role sits at the intersection of platform infrastructure and agent systems engineering. You'll build and maintain the core infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and platform services that underpin our machine learning initiatives and go further in designing the harnesses, sandboxes, and evaluation frameworks that let AI agents be developed, tested, and trusted in production. You'll work on systems that directly impact marketing, sales, service, and product growth verticals across the organization. This isn't a traditional infrastructure role. You should be comfortable wearing multiple hats of software engineering, agent systems design, and evaluation tooling. We're looking for engineers who think in flywheels: build →evaluate → improve → ship → repeat. What You'll Do Agent Harness & Flywheel Engineering Design and build agent harness infrastructure: the scaffolding that wraps LLM calls, manages tool use, handles retries, enforces policy, and feeds results back into iterative improvement loops. Implement agentic loop patterns with multi-turn reasoning, tool orchestration, memory management, and structured output handling as reusable platform primitives Build the agent flywheel: automated pipelines that collect agent traces, surface regressions, route failures to evaluation, and close the loop from production signal back to prompt/model
