About this role
Distyl is hiring for a Research Engineers, Agents role (full-time). See the official posting for full details.
Requirements
- Experience Building Agentic Systems: You have built AI systems that use models, tools, retrieval, planning, memory, or multi-step execution to complete real tasks
- Strong Engineering Fundamentals: You write clean, maintainable Python and are comfortable debugging complex, stateful systems
- Systems-Level Reasoning: You think holistically about how prompts, tools, context, evaluators, state, orchestration, and external APIs interact
- Research-Oriented Builder: You are curious about why agents succeed or fail, and you can design experiments to test different architectures and behaviors
- AI-Native Working Style: You use AI tools daily to write code, debug systems, explore designs, analyze traces, and accelerate experimentation
- Bias Towards Showing vs. Telling: You prefer working demonstrations, traces, evaluations, and production behavior over abstract descriptions
- Comfort in Customer Environments: You can translate ambiguous business workflows into concrete agent designs and explain system behavior clearly to stakeholders
- Ownership Mentality: You take responsibility for whether an agentic system performs reliably, safely, and usefully in production
