About the Company

The client is an AI app generation platform that powers mission-critical internal operations at global enterprises such as Instacart, Credit Karma and Carrier, bringing business, IT and engineering teams together to build production-grade internal apps with AI, with central governance, access controls, version control, audit logs and observability.

• Design new human-AI interactions and feedback loops for enterprise users.
• Build centralized governance for apps, workflows, agents, secrets and policies.
• Solve problems at the intersection of agentic AI, security and distributed systems at global scale.

What You Bring

• 2+ years of software engineering experience
• Strong backend and distributed systems skills in Python
• Experience with LLMs and agentic AI frameworks
• Ability to work in the New York office 5 days a week
