Responsibilities:

• Serve as a deep technical partner to mission-driven organisations through advising on evals, agent architectures, context engineering, cost optimisation, and more

• Develop public goods infrastructure that benefits entire ecosystems through benchmarks, MCP's, and Agent Skills

• Help shape team processes and culture as we scale from 1 to N

You might be a good fit if you have:

• 4+ years as a Software Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer, or technical founder
• Production experience building LLM-powered applications, including prompting, context engineering, agent architectures, evaluation frameworks, and deployment at scale
• Builder credibility that earns trust with technical founders and engineering teams,you've shipped products and can speak from experience
• Experience working in ed-tech, healthcare, scientific research, nonprofit, or other mission-driven organisations, understanding their unique challenges and constraints
• A love of teaching, mentoring, and helping others succeed
• A scrappy mentality–comfortable wearing multiple hats, building from scratch, driving clarity in ambiguous situations, and doing whatever it takes to further the mission
