Description

### The role

Own the agent research behind 40,000+ autonomous businesses, from experiments to production. Your work decides what 40,000 businesses do next, and it ships to real customers in days, not quarters.

### What you'll do

- Own evals, agent architectures, and model strategy end to end

- Run the loop from research experiments to production systems

- Build the research function: you're its first member and its leader

- Set the technical direction toward fully self-driving businesses

### Who you are

- Deep hands-on experience with LLM agents, evals, or applied ML research

- You measure your work by what ships, not what publishes

- Comfortable being the entire research org on day one
