What this posting asks for

Level: Lead / staff — The title says "Staff".

Main responsibilities

• Scale the platform. Managed Agents runs long-lived, stateful sessions that execute autonomously for minutes or hours/days, persist through disconnections, an…
• Evolve the harness — and prove it with evals. The harness is the loop that calls Claude, routes tool calls, manages context (caching, compaction, memory), an…
• Help builders get the most out of Claude. Our customers — internal and external — are building agents both as products for their users and to transform their…
• Design APIs that outlast their implementations. Agents, environments, sessions, vaults, and event streams are interfaces thousands of developers build agains…
• You might be a good fit if you:
• Have a minimum of 8 years of practical experience as a backend, distributed systems, or infrastructure engineer
• Have built and operated stateful, long-running, or high-throughput systems in production — workflow orchestration, streaming, storage, container or job orche…
• Have strong product sense and treat API design as a craft; you care about the developer on the other side of the interface and can ideate and execute product…
• Are excited by 0 → 1 work and comfortable navigating ambiguity, and have ideally operated in both early-stage and more mature team or company settings
• Use Claude or other AI tools as a core part of how you build software, and have opinions about what makes an agent harness good

Competencies an interviewer will look for

• Technical skill Core
  In the posting: “You'll drive 0 → 1 efforts from ideation through GA, own systems end to end from API design through operations, and partner closely with product, research, d…” · “You'll ship the capabilities that raise the ceiling on what those agents can do: outcome-driven execution where developers specify success criteria and a bud…” · “You'll shape those primitives — versioning, ergonomics across API, SDK, and CLI, sensible defaults, escape hatches — with the expectation that the implementa…”
  Show it by: Names the tools, languages or systems used and how; Explains a technical choice and its trade-off.
• Teamwork and collaboration Core

  Show it by: Puts the customer's need in their own words; Shows a result for the customer, not only for the company.
• Planning and organisation Core
  In the posting: “We are looking for experienced backend and distributed systems engineers to join the Agentic Systems team within our Platform organization.” · “You'll design and operate the systems underneath that: durable session and event storage, sandbox orchestration, streaming, scheduling, and multi-tenant isol…” · “Worked on an AI or ML platform (model serving, inference infrastructure, developer tooling) at an AI lab or an AI-native product company, or led adoption of …”
  Show it by: Shows how priorities were set when everything was urgent; Mentions deadlines met and how.
• Adaptability and learning Core
  In the posting: “You should be comfortable going deep on hard distributed systems problems, care about APIs as a product in their own right, and be motivated by turning ambig…” · “Are excited by 0 → 1 work and comfortable navigating ambiguity, and have ideally operated in both early-stage and more mature team or company settings” · “We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely…”
