From the employer
As a Product Engineer (Agents) at Antimetal, you’ll build the core product powered by our AI agent. From agent orchestration, data pipelines, APIs, to user interfaces, you’ll work across the entire stack to bring insights to our users.
We’re looking for someone who can work with the platform and research teams, turn experiments into production-ready features, and own projects end-to-end through ambiguity.

What You’ll Do:
Design and build agentic workflows for production incidents: orchestration, prompting, tool use, and evaluation
Engineer context and retrieval systems that surface the right information at the right time (semantic search, keyword, API, SQL)
Ship product features end-to-end, from backend data models to React interfaces
Partner closely with platform and research to bring AI capabilities into customer-facing product
Take ownership of ambiguous projects, breaking them into milestones and orchestrating delivery
Work directly with customers to refine features and validate product fit
What you bring:
5+ years of professional software engineering experience in full-stack, product, or AI engineering roles
Production experience with LLMs or agent-based systems: orchestration, prompting, tool use, retrieval
Strong experience in Typescript, React, Postgres, and NestJS
Comfort with the realities of AI in production: evaluations, latency, error handling, streaming
Experience owning projects end-to-end in a startup environment
History of pushing product thinking: designing not just code, but features customers love
Experience owning ambiguous initiatives and aligning cross-functional teams (design, platform, research)
Strong problem-solving skills, with a focus on creating highly maintainable, scalable code.
Bonus:
Experience with cloud infra (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform)
Background in developer tools, infrastructure, or observability
Experience building retrieval or search systems
Exposure to working directly with customers in shaping product
Prior tech-lead experience or project leadership
