We're looking for a Backend Engineer who has real production experience, knows how to build stable systems, and wants to dive into LLM agents not "because the task says so," but because the topic genuinely excites them. We need someone with the vibe of "let's build a smart assistant and ship a working product," not "I'll do my part until lunch."
