Private Agent Runtime Engineer

You build the part of Private Agent One that turns a person's intention into completed, inspectable work. Inspectable is the load-bearing word: the person has to be able to see what their agent did and why, which shapes the runtime more than any performance requirement does.

Apply for this roleAll roles

Open for applications. Starts at: First team.

We are taking applications for this role now and building the pipeline for it. The stage above is when the work itself is expected to begin, which is something you deserve to know before you apply rather than after. It is context, not a gate.

Where

Kirkland GarageUAE Garage

In the office together five days a week, in one of our garages, and remote-friendly around your family, arranged one person at a time. We hire across the United States 🇺🇸, India 🇮🇳 and the UAE 🇦🇪.

The work

What this person actually does

Implement durable execution, tool calls, background jobs, checkpoints and human approvals. Keep one authoritative identity and policy domain per user while allowing constrained workers. Enforce permissions outside the model and make cancellation, revocation and uncertain external outcomes visible.

The milestone

What it looks like when it is working

In your first 90 days, ship a useful workflow that survives interruption, requests approval at the right boundary and explains the actions it completed.

Required

What we would not hire without

  • ▸Strong backend or systems engineering, plus practical agent work
  • ▸Careful handling of retries, secrets, and external side effects, with examples
  • ▸You design so an action can be explained after the fact, not just executed
  • ▸You treat an irreversible side effect as something to be deliberate about

Nice to have

What would be a bonus, not a gate

  • ▸Workflow or orchestration engine experience
  • ▸Idempotency and exactly-once semantics in practice
  • ▸You have built an audit trail somebody actually used

Evidence

What would show us you can do it

Bring strong backend or systems engineering and practical agent experience. Show attention to retries, secret handling and external side effects.

Evidence, not credentials. We are describing work you can point at, in whatever form it exists.

The exercise

How we would look at it together

Design a workflow where the user revokes permission while an external task is still running, including the limits of recall.

The package

What comes with the job

  • ▸Stock options for every full-time teammate, four-year vesting with a one-year cliff
  • ▸Annual performance bonus, or on-target earnings with uncapped commission for customer-facing roles
  • ▸Medical, dental and vision for you and your family, plus life and disability cover, on the highest plan tier available to us
  • ▸A 401(k) with company matching
  • ▸Pay reviewed every year and on promotion, benchmarked to your role and market
  • ▸A budget of AI tokens of your own
  • ▸Gym membership, and retailer discounts redeemed through our benefits app
  • ▸Remote-friendly around your family, arranged one person at a time
  • ▸$1,000 plus $10,000 in equity for a referral we hire who stays a year

Indicative pay ranges by market and level are on the compensation page. Plan numbers are confirmed in your offer letter.
