Software Engineer: AI Agent Capabilities

HeyNoah is building an AI executive assistant that enhances productivity for busy professionals. The role focuses on expanding the capabilities of the AI assistant by investigating emerging model behaviors and developing reliable product features that users can trust.

Responsibilities:

• Investigate advances in reasoning, planning, memory, tool use, multimodal interaction, and agent collaboration to identify new product capabilities
• Translate promising model behaviors into reliable, reusable skills and workflows that solve real user problems
• Build and evolve the custom Python agent harness, including execution loops, orchestration, context and state management, structured outputs, retries, permissions, and error recovery
• Design agent tools and integrations across email, calendars, messaging platforms, browsers, documents, CRMs, and business software
• Own capabilities end-to-end across the Python agent, Django services and APIs, React interfaces, data models, background jobs, observability, and production operations
• Build the platform abstractions that make capabilities easier to compose, extend, share, and maintain as Noah becomes more sophisticated
• Improve latency, cost, reliability, and safety across high-volume agent execution
• Work with the evaluations team to define expected behavior, instrument capabilities, understand regressions, and turn quality findings into engineering improvements
• Study production traces and user feedback to understand where users lose trust, then fix the system rather than patching individual examples
• Set technical direction on ambiguous problems and raise the engineering standard through design reviews, clear abstractions, and thoughtful execution
