Applied AI Engineer at Wordware

You will build and scale the agent systems inside Sauna, Wordware.ai’s hybrid AI-software platform. This role involves architecting multi-step agents that interact with real APIs, managing state across memory systems, and owning the evaluation framework. You’ll work across the stack to ensure these agents are fast, predictable, and production-ready.

• Architect and deploy production-grade agent systems that utilize multi-step LLM pipelines and complex tool-using capabilities.
• Develop robust memory systems and infrastructure to persist agent state and handle authentication, retries, and edge cases across APIs.
• Design and own the evaluation framework, implementing automated checks and human-in-the-loop scoring to ensure high-quality agent behavior.

• Brings 3+ years of professional engineering experience with a proven track record of shipping production software in fast-paced environments.
• Possesses hands-on experience building agent-like systems, including LLM orchestration, tool integration, and observability for multi-step pipelines.
• Demonstrates a “founder mindset” with the ability to write production-grade code across the stack and a strong bias toward shipping.

• Join the team that secured the largest seed round in YC history ($30M), backed by top-tier investors like Spark Capital and Felicis.
• Work in a stunning office in the San Francisco Presidio, just steps away from Crissy Field, within a high-intensity, mission-driven culture.
• Build the “shared brain” for software, moving beyond simple chat interfaces to create proactive agents that handle complex, real-world workflows autonomously.
