About the role

  • Trustworthy, consumer-grade agents that redefine human-AI collaboration for millions.
  • We're a stealth team of elite founders and AI researchers, with backgrounds spanning Stanford, OpenAI, and DeepMind.
  • Make them feel like magic, not infrastructure.

Responsibilities

  • Forward-deployed engineers, by giving them backends partners can integrate against without a six-week meeting
  • How to design backends for LLM-powered systems where latency, cost, and non-determinism are first-class concerns
  • On-device / cloud co-design - when to push compute to the phone and when to keep it on our side

Company info

  • Build everyday AGI.
  • Software shouldn't wait for commands; it should partner with you, amplifying what you can do every single day.
  • WHY AGI, INC.
  • We're industry leaders in mobile and computer-use agents, bringing these capabilities to consumer scale.
  • Grounded in years of agent research, our AI is designed with trustworthiness and reliability as core pillars, not afterthoughts.
  • We are supported by tier-1 investors who funded the first generation of AI giants; now they're backing us to build the next: everyday AGI. (Watch the demo https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZydjdMeMh3x-QItUPQFbJUbhBW-4-XHa/view?usp=sharing)
  • If you see possibility where others see limits, read on.
  • Build the systems our agents run on.
  • Our agents are only as trustworthy as the backend behind them.
  • Every API call, every retry, every queued job is the difference between an agent that feels alive and one that feels like a chatbot.
  • You'll own the systems that turn research into product - model orchestration, agent state, partner integrations, the data plane - and you'll make them fast enough, observable enough, and boring enough that the rest of the team can ship without thinking about them.
  • This is for the backend engineer who has been the on-call hero before, who has strong opinions about queues and idempotency, and who wants to design infrastructure for a product where the floor is "millions of devices."
  • ๐Ÿคฉ TASKS YOU WILL OWN
  • The agent backend end-to-end - model orchestration, tool-use plumbing, agent state, retries, observability
  • The data plane behind every agent action - Postgres schema, caching, queues, event streams - at OEM scale
  • Production SLAs, on-call, and the reliability bar for everything the agent touches in the cloud
  • ๐Ÿคš AREAS WHERE YOU WILL ASSIST
  • Research, by shipping their work to real users in days, not quarters - and feeding back what breaks in production
  • iOS and Android, by drawing the right line between on-device and cloud so neither side carries the wrong weight
  • ๐Ÿ“š SKILLS YOU'LL BE EXPECTED TO TEACH
  • How to run a production system you'd happily put your name on - observability, incident response, capacity planning
  • ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŽ“ SKILLS YOU'LL BE EXPECTED TO LEARN
  • The internals of agentic systems from the people who published the canonical papers on them
  • What it takes to run agent infrastructure at OEM scale, across Samsung, OPPO, Lenovo, and Vertu devices
