About the role
Zep manages, governs, and serves agent memory at enterprise scale. Enterprises build on Zep to run reliable, personalized agents across the business: millions of Context Graphs, served in under 200ms, inside their own VPCs and cloud deployments. Customers include Samsung, Zscaler, Twin Health, HoneyBook, and NASDAQ 100 and Fortune 500 technology companies. We also build Graphiti, our open-source context graph framework (30K+ GitHub stars).
What our customers' agents can reason about depends on the memory we retrieve and the memory we write. You own that loop. You build agents that improve retrieval. You finetune the models that extract memory, and the models that power those agents. You run the experiments and ship the result as production code.
We're hiring an engineer who builds agents and trains the models they run on.
We will measure you on whether retrieval and memory quality move, and on what reaches production.
You'll report to our founder, Daniel (2x founder, engineer, former head of ML at SparkPost), and join a team with pedigree at Scale AI, Dropbox, ActiveCampaign, DroneDeploy, and McKinsey.
How we work
We're a small, distributed team that works closely together. We pair on hard problems, review each other's designs, and treat learning as part of the job rather than something that happens after hours. We ask a lot of questions: of customers, of teammates, of our own assumptions. When we find pain, we go fix it.
We expect the same back: ask questions early, push back when you disagree, and care about the people on the other end of the API.
What you'll do
- Build agents that improve retrieval: query understanding, ranking, and what to pull into context.
- Finetune the models that extract, update, and consolidate memory on Zep's domain.
- Finetune the models that power those agents, so the retrieval loop and the agent get better together.
- Own the work from dataset creation through experiment design, evaluation, training, and a change that ships to production. Our engineers work the serving path alongside you.
