About the Role

Lead the agentic architecture for OpenArt's next-generation creative products, starting with Director, enabling users to direct cinematic videos by chatting with AI. You will own the agent infrastructure for advanced features like long-horizon planning, multi-vendor tool use, cross-session memory, and sub-agent orchestration, ensuring reliability at scale. This is a product-and-systems leadership role, not research-focused, involving defining architecture, setting engineering standards, and hands-on development of MCP servers, CLI tooling, and frontend experiences.

Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end architecture of the agent harness for conversational and autonomous creative workflows, including tool use, context/memory management, multi-step planning, and sub-agent orchestration.
  • Design agent planning and execution for long-running creative tasks across multiple model vendors, with defined failure modes and recovery paths.
  • Build and maintain MCP servers and CLI-based agent tooling for connecting agents to internal services, external model vendors, and creative asset pipelines.
  • Author reusable Agent Skills and structured workflows, defining patterns for other engineers.
  • Build the evaluation and observability stack, including automated evals, regression suites, tracing, and quality gates.
  • Drive reliability, latency, and cost per successful run as key metrics.
  • Ship production frontend experiences (React/Next.js) for agent-driven products.
  • Set the technical bar for agent engineering through architecture reviews, engineering standards, and mentorship.
  • Track the agent ecosystem and decide on OpenArt's stack components.
  • Partner with founders, product, design, and GTM to translate user needs into technical direction and communicate trade-offs.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of full-stack engineering experience shipping and owning production systems at scale.
  • 2+ years building LLM-powered agents in production.
  • Deep, hands-on experience with agent architecture: tool use, context/memory management, multi-step planning, sub-agent orchestration, and long-running workflows.
  • Track record of designing evaluation frameworks and observability for agentic systems.
  • Strong system design and data modeling skills.
  • Experience authoring reusable Agent Skills, structured agent workflows, or equivalent abstractions.
  • Demonstrated technical leadership.
  • Strong AI-assisted coding practice using tools like Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor.
  • High product sense for agent experiences.
  • Strong communication skills.
