Senior/Staff Software Engineer, Agentic Platform

Required

• 4+ years of software engineering experience, with recent, hands-on focus on building agentic systems (LLM orchestration, tool/function calling, multi-step and multi-agent reasoning, retrieval and context engineering, and interoperability protocols such as MCP, or comparable work).
• Demonstrated ability to design and own complex distributed systems, ideally in data-intensive B2B SaaS environments.
• Hands-on fluency with the modern agentic stack and a strong intuition for the failure modes of non-deterministic, LLM-driven systems—plus the evaluation and observability practices needed to tame them.
• Experience turning messy, heterogeneous real-world data into something a model can reason over reliably.
• A track record of technical mentorship; you make the engineers around you better without needing formal authority.
• A firm believer in a "Data First" philosophy who can make sound decisions in ambiguous, fast-moving situations.
• A strong executor in fast-paced environments who can balance shipping MVPs with a commitment to production-grade systems.
• You’re a builder and operator who thrives in fast-moving, high-accountability environments. You take pride in getting things done — thoughtfully, efficiently, and without drama. You’re energized by ambiguity, skilled at bringing clarity, and comfortable flexing between strategy and execution.
• You value feedback — giving it, receiving it, and acting on it — and you see collaboration as a competitive advantage, not a burden. You’re low-ego but high-agency: you care about winning as a team more than being right individually. You move quickly, communicate directly, and make decisions grounded in impact and data.
• You don’t need constant direction — you create momentum. You take ownership for outcomes, and you expect the same from those around you.
• We move fast, work smart, and hold ourselves to a high bar. Axion is a place for people who take pride in their craft and are motivated by meaningful work. We respect time off and boundaries, but we’re also realistic: hard problems sometimes require weekend pushes or late-night thinking sessions. We support that balance — intensity with respect for recharge.
• We stay highly collaborative and connected throughout the day — much of our communication happens over Slack. We move quickly, share feedback often, and keep discussions open so decisions and context flow freely. If you value crisp communication, rapid iteration, and a steady hum of collaboration, you’ll fit right in.
