Exelab builds AI-powered solutions in small teams and is looking for a software engineer to help build Polyant, its open-source, self-hosted AI agent runtime, owning part of the product from admin UI to database.
Responsibilities
- ▹Design and deliver features end to end, from data model and APIs to UI, tests and documentation.
- ▹Own technical decisions within your areas, making explicit trade-offs between user value, effort, reliability and maintenance cost.
- ▹Develop agent capabilities such as tool execution, context management, retrieval and memory, with clear failure handling.
- ▹Protect a multi-tenant platform through authorization, data isolation, input validation and careful review.
- ▹Build regression tests and agent evaluations; use traces, latency and cost to assess changes.
- ▹Keep releases dependable through CI/CD, safe database migrations and investigation of production issues.
- ▹Use AI coding agents deliberately: provide context and constraints, split work into reviewable changes, verify generated code.
- ▹Propose product improvements and share experiments, decisions and findings with the team.
Requirements
- ▹A track record of delivering production software and maintaining it over time, with decisions and outcomes you can explain.
- ▹Strong TypeScript and Node.js skills, practical React experience, ability to work across backend and frontend.
- ▹Experience with relational databases, API design, authentication and authorization.
- ▹Sound software design, debugging and refactoring skills, supported by automated tests and code review.
- ▹Practical experience with LLM APIs and agent workflows: tool calling, structured output, context limits, cost and latency impact.
- ▹An evidence-based approach to reliability: testing uncertain behaviour and investigating failures.
- ▹Practical use of AI coding tools, with critical review of their output.
- ▹Experience with Git, CI/CD and deploying software, with responsibility for its behaviour after release.
