About the role
Member of Technical Staff @ Interaction
We’re the makers of Poke.com, a proactive AI agent for everyday life. Interaction is a $300M consumer company backed by $27M from General Catalyst and angels such as Guillermo Rauch (Vercel), Scott Wu (Cognition), Patrick and John Collison (Stripe), Fred Ehrsam (Coinbase), Ken Howery (Co-Founder of PayPal and Founders Fund), and many others.
The Context
For the last year, our core engineering team has built this entire agent platform from the ground up. Now, traffic and concurrent agent executions are scaling by orders of magnitude. We need engineers to harden infrastructure without slowing down feature velocity.
We only care about technical depth, obsession with your craft, and how well you can build alongside us. Our current team is strongly connected and talent-dense, with backgrounds from Jane Street, MIT/Stanford research, and International Olympiads, but we care more about experience building than your pedigree.
The Role
We hire across many strengths under one title. You are a T-shaped engineer who can navigate the whole stack, but you are uniquely experienced in at least one of these areas:
- Scale & Infra: High-concurrency, low-latency, distributed state under heavy load.
- Product: Prototyping, shipping, and iterating on agentic workflows zero-to-one.
- Extensibility & DevTools: APIs, SDKs, and primitives that make Poke programmable by external developers.
- AI Runtime & Evals: Tool use, model selection, and output quality in production.
We work mostly in Typescript and some Python, but lack of experience in these specific languages is not a deal breaker.
What we're looking for
- Rigor under pressure. You move between infra, product, and debugging. You can stabilize melting systems while still shipping features.
