Company mission
To bring generative AI to the enterprise.
Role
Who you are
- 3+ years of professional software engineering experience with strong proficiency (3+ years) in Python in production environments
- Proficiency in native agentic coding, demonstrated through the daily use of tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and other agentic coding platforms
- Demonstrated experience building distributed systems, microservices, or complex backend APIs that support AI/agent workflows
- Solid expertise with systems that integrate AI models, agent frameworks (e.g., LangChain or platform-specific tooling), vector databases, and large context reasoning services
- Understanding of agent orchestration patterns, state management, and asynchronous workflows
- Experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and operational engineering best practices
- Good grasp of performance optimization, testing frameworks, and CI/CD pipelines
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a “connect + challenge + own” mindset
- Past work on AI agents that coordinate multi-step actions, reasoning, or autonomous decision-making loops
- Contributions to open-source agent toolkits or SDKs
- Experience with frontend technologies (React, TypeScript) for tooling around agent management interfaces
What the job involves
- We’re seeking a highly skilled fullstack software engineer to join our engineering team building advanced AI-driven agent systems that execute autonomous workflows, orchestrate multi-step tasks, and extend human capacity across enterprise applications
- In this role, you’ll play a key part in designing, building, and scaling next-generation AI agents that integrate with enterprise data and services to solve real-world problems. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to turn complex agent concepts into production-ready systems
- Design, implement, and maintain scalable, secure agent-driven services and systems that autonomously accomplish tasks using modern AI frameworks
- Develop and enhance robust infrastructure and high-throughput APIs, focusing on core agent capabilities such as memory, communication channels, skills, intelligent decision logic, security and workflow management
- Integrate agent capabilities with backend services, data stores, vector databases, search/retrieval systems, and external APIs
- Collaborate with product managers, AI researchers, data engineers, and UX teams to translate high-level agent use cases into robust, production-ready software
- Ensure reliability, monitoring, and observability for all agent components (metrics, logging, CI/CD, fault tolerance)
- Contribute to architectural design decisions and participate in rigorous code reviews to uphold quality and maintainability
Our take
AI-assisted writing tools have taken off over recent years. With the likes of high-exposure company Grammarly accelerating adoption of such tools, a flurry of startups have appeared to offer their own takes. Writer’s angle is to leverage AI as a means of standardizing and scaling both content and communications for business teams. The tool offers autofilling and inline suggestions that keep content aligned with pre-determined company language and style guides.
This branded fine-tuning function distinguishes it from full copy-generation competitors, as well as from Grammarly itself, which is a more generalist copyediting tool. It subsequently caters to major enterprise clients looking to maintain standards across multiple and sprawling teams, and the company has managed to net major clients like Deloitte, Twitter, UiPath, and Accenture.
While AI-related buzz remains solidly around generative AIs like ChatGPT and Bard, Writer's narrow target market - in which it has already found success - supplies plenty of scope to grow, as AI copyediting tools look set to rapidly become content industry standard. With continued new launches and updates to its offerings, as well as an impressive $200 million Series C awarded in 2024, the company is well-placed for further success.
