About the Role

As a Software Engineer supporting agents, you'll design how Nominal's agents work by architecting the platform they run on and setting technical direction for the team.

Responsibilities

  • Build agent tools and workflows that ship to every customer.
  • Grow the Nominal MCP so external agents can do more of the work our users do, safely and with the user's own permissions.
  • Build the integrations our internal company agent needs to work across Nominal's own tools and teams.
  • Turn the patterns forward-deployed engineers find in the field into capabilities every customer gets.
  • Instrument what you ship, read the traces, and fix what the evals and users tell you.
  • Work directly with engineers at customer programs to understand how the work is really done.

Requirements

  • 4+ years as a strong backend or full-stack engineer.
  • Hands-on experience shipping LLM features to real users: prompting, tool design, retrieval, and debugging.
  • Speed with good judgment: ship small, measure, and iterate.
  • Comfort with ambiguity and owning a capability from idea to production.
  • Build with modern AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) daily and stay curious about better ways of working.
