Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Mozilla Corporation is the non-profit-backed technology company that has shaped the internet for the better over the last 25 years. They are seeking an experienced Staff Engineer to lead the architectural design and implementation of next-generation AI agent frameworks and workflows within a fast-paced autonomous team.
Responsibilities
- Architect Agentic Systems from Zero: Design and deploy production-grade multi-agent frameworks, complex orchestration layers, and custom AI developer tooling
- Balance Speed and Scale: Navigate the tension between rapid prototyping and long-term sustainability, knowing exactly when to cut corners to validate a concept and when to slow down to lay rock-solid architectural foundations
- Orchestrate LLM Workflows: Navigate and integrate various commercial and open-source large language models, selecting and optimizing the right models for specific agentic behaviors
- Accelerate with AI Tooling: Lead by example by extensively leveraging advanced AI coding tools to maximize velocity, while establishing best practices for AI-assisted engineering across the team
- Drive Evaluation and Performance: Implement rigorous frameworks for benchmarking, prompt engineering, and evaluating agent reliability, latency, and accuracy
- Collaborative Technical Leadership: Set engineering standards for code quality and system performance, mentoring other engineers and acting as a primary bridge between research and product
Skills
- 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, particularly in fast-paced environments where you've shipped complex systems from scratch
- A proven ability to judge technical debt. You know how to ship an MVP in days, but you also know how to design a clean API boundary so that early speed doesn't block future scale
- 2+ years of direct, hands-on production experience specifically building autonomous workflows, custom tools, and agentic systems
- Deep familiarity with diverse LLMs and orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or similar tools)
- Prior early-stage startup experience, meaning you are comfortable with ambiguity, pivot quickly based on data, and focus heavily on execution
- Deep, everyday proficiency building software with advanced AI coding tools (such as Cursor, Copilot, or custom LLM extensions) to radically speed up delivery
- Comfort writing clean, high-performance code in languages like Python or Go, with a solid grasp of distributed backend systems
- Experience building developer-facing products, SDKs, or open-source libraries
- Prior contributions to open-source AI or agent frameworks
- Experience with vector databases and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) at scale
