Job Description

Principal Engineer – Enterprise AI Agents
AI Start-Up
$250k base + equity
US – Eastern Timezone (Hybrid/Remote)

Edge Tech is thrilled to be partnered with a $55m Series A hyper-growth AI start-up that’s reinventing how enterprise work gets done, through intelligent, action-taking AI Agents.

Their mission? Transform how people and AI collaborate by putting next-gen AI Agents at the center of enterprise operations. Think workflow automation meets generative intelligence, built for scale, speed, and results.

They’re backed by world-class VCs (the same ones who funded Uber, Instagram, and Snapchat), with a founding team that’s already built and exited successful companies. Now, they’re building again, and moving fast.

The Opportunity
As a Principal Engineer, you’ll shape the technical vision and architecture of their Agent platform, the beating heart of their product. You’ll be the kind of engineer who doesn’t just write clean, scalable code (though you do), but one who thrives in the weeds of complex systems, leads through influence, and mentor’s others to raise the bar. If you’ve been waiting for a role where you can shape the future of enterprise AI, this is it.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Owning the architecture and design of the core AI Agent platform
• Translating real enterprise problems into scalable technical solutions that ship
• Working hands-on with Python (and likely Go, JS, or Rust) to build and deploy real-time, intelligent, distributed systems
• Leading technical decision-making, from data security to scalability and performance
• Mentoring engineers and shaping a high-performance, no-ego team culture
• Helping define engineering standards that promote velocity without sacrificing quality

What You’ll Bring

• 10+ years of experience in software engineering, including several years in a technical leadership role
• Deep hands-on experience building large-scale distributed systems (Kubernetes, microservices, containerized environments)
• Expert-level Python, plus at least one other modern language (Go, Rust, JavaScript etc.)
• Passion for AI: you use the latest tools, understand the limits of LLMs, and know how to make them useful
• Proven track record of delivering secure, production-grade systems in complex environments
• Strong communication and collaboration skills - you lead by example, mentor well, and make the complex feel simple
• Thrives in ambiguity, with a bias for action and obsession for impact

Why Join Our Client?

• Influence the architecture, direction, and future of a cutting-edge GenAI platform
• Work alongside top-tier founders, engineers, and researchers
• Solve real enterprise challenges, fast
• Fully remote team with async-friendly culture and clear communication
• Be part of something early, meaningful, and career-defining
