Here’s a summary of the role: Build cloud software that matters, grow your technical depth, and use modern AI tooling to do your best work. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys solving product problems, writing clean code, and helping services run reliably at scale. You’ll work on secure, scalable microservices and APIs using TypeScript, AWS , and modern engineering practices. You’ll be part of a collaborative product engineering team where you can own features, contribute to design discussions, support production systems, and keep growing across backend, cloud, and AI-assisted development workflows. Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll do, not all of it, just the important stuff: Design, build, test, and improve backend services and APIs using Node.js, TypeScript, and AWS . Take ownership of well-defined features from planning through release, including code quality, deployment, and production support . Work closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to turn requirements into practical, reliable solutions. Contribute to technical design conversations, code reviews, and engineering standards that keep the team moving well. Use AI tools to speed up research, coding, debugging, testing, and documentation, while checking outputs carefully and applying sound judgment. Help keep systems secure, observable, and maintainable by improving monitoring, reliability, and day-to-day development practices. These are the essentials you’ll need to get an interview: 3 to 5 years of professional software engineering experience building production applications in an agile environment. Strong backend development skills with Node.js and TypeScript, including experience building APIs or microservices. Experience with React or Angular in a product engineering environment. Hands-on experience with

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today, SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars. SpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to help humanity understand the universe. Our teams are building the full Super Intelligence stack: from our Colossus supercomputers, to Grok models, to our suite of applications, including Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X. We're creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next. About the Role As a Software Engineer on the Agent Quality team at SpaceXAI, you’ll build the measurement, evaluation, and feedback-loop infrastructure that makes the Cursor core agent reliably better over time. This role sits at the intersection of product, data, and engineering: you’ll instrument what matters, help define how we judge quality, build pipelines and tooling to analyze agent behavior at scale, and partner closely with research, product, and infrastructure teams to turn insights into improvements. Your impact will compound across every Cursor product built on the shared harness—and across high-stakes decisions around model choice, quality, and cost. What you’ll work on Designing and building best-in-class AI evaluation system: curated datasets, offline replay, scorers / judges, regression alerts, and dashboards. Designing feedback loops from real usage: collecting, cleaning, and interpreting user signals to inform model and harness changes. Developing analysis tooling and workflows for debugging agent behavior: deep dives on failure modes, clustering themes, and surfacing actionable insights. Improving reliability and guardrails by making quality measurable and ope

About the Team The Platform Analytics team builds the systems OpenAI researchers use to understand the quality and behavior of the models we train including what models are doing, why they behave in a particular way, and how that behavior changes across experiments. Neptune is a core part of this work. It ingests, stores, queries, and visualizes large volumes of metrics from pretraining, post-training, and reinforcement learning. Hundreds of researchers depend on these systems in their daily work to compare experiments, debug unexpected behavior, and decide what to try next. Our scope is broader than metrics. We also build platforms that help researchers analyze samples, traces, evaluation results, and other structured or unstructured data through dashboards, APIs, and increasingly agent-driven workflows. These systems need to remain fast, reliable, and understandable as the scale and complexity of research change quickly. We are not trying to become a consulting team that builds a separate solution for every research project. We work directly with researchers to understand recurring problems, then turn them into reusable infrastructure and platform capabilities that many teams can build on. About the Role We’re looking for a hands-on experienced software engineer who can take ownership of a critical system and drive it from problem definition through production adoption. This person should be able to own a platform such as CacheHouse end to end: define its technical direction, design its data model and storage architecture, integrate it with several research dashboards and workflows, guide one or two engineers, and ensure the system works reliably for its users. The right candidate should already bring the technical judgment, ownership, and execution expected at this level. The primary learning curve should be OpenAI’s stack and research problem space, not learning how to lead a complex engineering effort or deliver a production system. You will work directly with
