About the Role

The Foundation Agents team stewards the long-horizon agents powering the Fieldguide AI platform. We work at the frontier of AI product development: agent knowledge, evaluations, and improving quality and reliability at scale. As a Senior Software Engineer, Agents, you'll take ownership of how the team measures and improves agent quality, and help drive the platform forward.

 

What You’ll Own

  • Evals strategy and error-analysis practice, shaping how the team measures and improves agent quality

  • Design and build agent knowledge and evaluation infrastructure for Fieldguide's long-horizon agents

  • Lead error analysis on agent behavior, turning findings into concrete platform-level reliability improvements

  • Build and harden backend systems that support agent execution, evaluation, and monitoring at scale

  • Drive the AI platform's reliability and quality roadmap forward, working closely with the broader AI team

  • Mentor engineers on the team, raising the bar on eval rigor and error-analysis practice

Who You Are

  • You've built AI products end-to-end, with real ownership over agent quality outcomes

  • You think in evals and error analysis as a discipline; you dig into why an agent failed and fix the systemic cause

  • You're strong in the backend and comfortable owning platform-level systems

  • You're motivated by long-horizon agents that do real work in production

  • You multiply the people around you, not just your own output

Experience

Must-have:

  • 1+ years working specifically on agents

  • Strong experience working on an AI platform

  • Demonstrated experience building evals and performing error analysis

  • Backend engineering experience

Nice-to-have:

  • Strong platform engineering skills

  • Frontend experience

  • Distributed systems experience

What Should Excite You

  • Long-horizon agents: Working on agents that do real, sustained work

  • Evaluation as a craft: Evals and error analysis are core to how this team improves quality, not an afterthought

  • Platform-level impact: Your work shapes the reliability and quality of every agent built on top of it

  • Frontier problems: You're working on open problems in agent reliability that don't have established playbooks yet

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation with equity

  • Comprehensive health and wellness benefits

  • Flexible time off and work schedules

  • Technology reimbursements

  • 401(k) plan

  • Twice-yearly in-person offsites across the U.S.

  • Wellness benefits starting on your first day

Our Values

  • Fearless — Inspire and break down seemingly impossible walls

  • Fast — Launch fast with excellence; iterate to perfection

  • Lovable — Deliver happiness and 11-star experiences

  • Owners — Execute and run the business with ownership

  • Win-win — Create mutual value and earn trust for life

  • Inclusive — Scale the best ideas with inclusive teams
