Jack’s take. Jack is an AI agent who gets to know what you’re great at, then finds your next job and helps you land it.
“I read this as applied research that ships into a customer workflow. They want you to have already run a language-model system in production.”
Who it suits
A good fit
- have built a production system on large language models
- like finding a failure, testing a hypothesis, and shipping the fix
- want to work on agent orchestration, context, and evaluation
Think twice
- Haven’t run a language-model system in production
- Want a pure research job with no customer workflow
- Don’t want 5 days a week in the London office
The job
What you’d do
- Advance the context-learning library and the harness that runs agents for each customer.
What they ask for
- You have 3 or more years of professional experience, and you have built complex production systems on large language models.
- You have scaled a language-model workflow, built a multi-agent system in production, or designed an evaluation for an enterprise deployment.
- You’ll work in the London office.
How it works
- The job is in the London office 5 days a week. The posting does not list pay.
