Software Engineer

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
