You'll build agent systems that collect data across the web and extract structured information, the queues and pipelines that route that data through human-in-the-loop review, and the admin tooling that lets our data ops team work efficiently.

We're big proponents of using AI to do our best work, and this role is the most direct expression of that. Every workflow you build helps remove manual work or makes us faster at it. If you have an idea for a new tool, agent, or pipeline, you will be able to own and push that idea forward.
