About the role
Permute is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to design, build, and deploy production-grade AI systems in a fast-moving startup environment. This role is for builders who move quickly, think clearly in ambiguous situations, and take ownership of turning ideas into working systems. We care as much about how you think and build as we do about your background. The ideal candidate is someone who can reason through new problems, prototype rapidly, and ship reliable systems in a fast-moving startup environment.
What you'll bring
- Strong background in software engineering and system design
- Solid foundation in algorithms, statistics, and optimization
- Experience building AI agents, LLM systems, or ML-driven products
- 5+ years building in/around AWS infrastructure
- Degree in Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, or a related technical field
- Production Applications end-to-end
- Agent orchestration frameworks
- Model evaluation frameworks and benchmarking
- Safety, monitoring, and reliability for deployed ML systems
