AI Engineer - Backend

About the role

THINK DIFFERENT. BUILD THE FUTURE. 🚀

OUR MISSION

Build everyday AGI. Trustworthy, consumer-grade agents that redefine human–AI collaboration for millions. Software shouldn’t wait for commands; it should partner with you, amplifying what you can do every single day.

WHY AGI, INC.

We’re a stealth team of elite founders and AI researchers, with backgrounds spanning Stanford, OpenAI, and DeepMind. 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. Make them feel like magic, not infrastructure.

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."

🤩 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

🤚 AREAS WHERE YOU WILL ASSIST

- Research, by shipping their work to real users in days, not quarters — and feeding back what breaks in production

- Forward-deployed engineers, by giving them backends partners can integrate against without a six-week meeting

- iOS and Android, by drawing the right line between on-device and cloud so neither side carries the wrong weight

📚 SKILLS YOU'LL BE EXPECTED TO TEACH

- How to design backends for LLM-powered systems where latency, cost, and non-determinism are first-class concerns

- How to run a production system you'd happily put your name on — observability, incident response, capacity planning

🧑‍🎓 SKILLS YOU'LL BE EXPECTED TO LEARN

- The internals of agentic systems from the people who published the canonical papers on them
