About the role
We are looking for a Software Engineer with 2+ years of experience to join a small, elite team building AI systems that autonomously conduct AI research. You'll be working at the frontier of automated scientific discovery at a company that has already shipped the first AI agent to autonomously create peer-reviewed literature. This is a rare opportunity to join an 8-person team backed by $14M in seed funding from General Catalyst, Toyota Ventures, and others, with strong enterprise traction among top-tier quant trading firms. You must be a strong Python engineer who can write pristine production code and thrive in a fast-moving, collaborative environment.
What will you be doing?
-
Building and maintaining backend infrastructure for Mira, the company's commercial AI research agent platform
-
Writing high-quality production Python code to improve recursive self-improvement capabilities and system performance
-
Collaborating cross-functionally with researchers and engineers on agentic discovery search systems and post-training stacks
-
Contributing to ML infrastructure, observability, and performance optimization of customer-integrated AI systems
-
Operating as a generalist engineer at an early-stage startup — owning problems end-to-end from design through deployment
