We build the AI layer for Starburst's products, including AIDA. We design agents that let users ask questions in natural language and get accurate, grounded answers backed by their actual data. We operate with startup speed inside an enterprise company, shipping weekly and measuring results. This is the first dedicated agent engineering hire on the team.
You will raise the bar on agent reliability, turning shipped features into systems users depend on. You will approach AI agents as production software systems, built with the same rigor as any large-scale backend platform. This is not a research role or a prototyping role. You will ship agentic features that work with messy real-world data, undocumented schemas, and diverse access patterns.
You have already shipped agentic or LLM-powered systems at an AI startup or AI-focused product team. You bring proven patterns, knowledge of real failure modes, and operational lessons that would take the team months to learn through trial and error. You write code every day and ship every week.
