To free the global workforce of mundane, soul-crushing workflows.
Role
Who you are
- Have 4+ years of backend engineering experience, with strong proficiency in TypeScript/Node
- Deep understanding of distributed systems, databases, and asynchronous architectures
- Strong bias towards action and embody "show > tell"—you ship systems and iterate quickly
- High degree of agency: you effectively prioritize, unblock yourself, and drive projects forward without much outside input
- Value taking ownership and responsibility for your systems and infrastructure
- Studied Computer Science (or related field), or dropped out to build stuff
- Located in SF or willing to relocate
Desirable
- Prior experience building platform or infrastructure systems at scale
- Experience integrating LLMs or AI models into production backend systems
- Background in real-time systems, event-driven architectures, or workflow engines
- Track record of building foundational systems that enabled teams to move faster
What the job involves
- As a Senior Backend Engineer on the Agent Platform team, you'll build the foundational systems that power our AI agents—from agent orchestration and state management to model integration and evaluation pipelines
- This is platform engineering: building the infrastructure that enables our team to ship reliable, production-grade agentic automation
- You'll work at the cutting edge of multi-agent systems, designing how agents collaborate to solve complex healthcare workflows
- You'll own critical backend services end-to-end and build the verification systems and evaluations that guarantee our agents do the right thing every time
- Design and build core platform systems for agent orchestration, memory, and state management
- Develop robust infrastructure for integrating and evaluating the latest AI models at scale
- Build APIs and abstractions that enable teams to quickly ship new agent capabilities
- Own critical backend services from architecture through deployment and monitoring
- Work directly with the founding team to shape the architecture of our agentic platform
Our take
It’s generally accepted that most workers in many sectors will complete at least one repetitive computer task within their work day. Magical is a platform hoping to remove the ache of these mundane tasks through its automation system.
The company doesn’t use specific integrations or APIs, rather, it simply collects repeatedly used data that can then be collated on the likes of a Google sheet or email. The platform stops you from typing the same thing over and over by populating repeatedly used text such as contact information. It's said to save an average of seven hours of work a week with its free-to-download Chrome extension.
Founded in 2020, Magical has attracted considerable funding and a growing enterprise footprint. Alongside this, the company has worked with over 10,000 businesses, including Salesforce, Uber, Bolt, Disney and Facebook, and is now moving beyond simple productivity tools into more advanced AI-driven automation. Recent partnerships, such as with Beacon Health System, signal a shift toword agentic AI capable of executing complex workflows within existing systems, particularly in high-stakes environments like healthcare.
