## Description

Hey, I’m Teddy, CTO & co-founder at Magic Patterns! Our engineering team has grown a lot over the last few months here in San Francisco.
 **About Magic Patterns**
Our mission is to let anyone build delightful software. We're a lean team where everyone contributes directly to the product.
If you’re an AI engineer, our roadmap is probably a goldmine of things you’ve always wanted to work on:

- An AI agent that thousands of users use religiously everyday

- Evals with a self-improving agent loop

- Context engineering

- Post-training on design output

The most common piece of feedback we get is "I tried a bunch of tools but your design quality output is by far the best." We want to push the limits even further.
 **About this role**

- Own our eval system that feeds into our self-improving agent loop

- Push and define the limits of what AI can do in design. Today, we are state of the art, and we want to continue to push that.

- Collaborate with the product team to bring novel solutions to improve agent quality from the perspective of our users

- Decide what to work on to improve our AI Design agent. The list above are open problems, not assignments
 

**This role might be a fit if you...**

- Use AI tools in your daily workflow

- Have experience with AI models and/or have worked on an AI agent before

- Have experience building eval systems, post-training, context engineering

- Strong first-principles thinker that can distill complex problems
 

**Our Values**

- Obsessive — we love exploring every corner of the hardest problems.

- Growth-minded — where you are today matters less than how fast you are growing

- Ownership — insist on high standards and craftsmanship.

- Spread the magic — for many people, Magic Patterns is “magic.”  Be proud of your work and have fun!
 

**Compensation and benefits:**

- Rapid career growth at one of the fastest growing Series A companies

- Competitive salary and equity package

- 20 days off PTO

- Health, dental, and vision coverage

- Fun team offsites and events — we went to Mexico last year!
