Senior Software Engineer - Agentic Systems

Location: NY or SF (Hybrid)

Compensation: $175K – $220K • Offers Equity

Employment Type: FullTime

About Soris

We are a stealth technology company building at the intersection of foundational AI and systems design for real-world impact. Our mission is bold: to reimagine one of the largest and most entrenched industries on the planet, creating an entirely new model that is faster, fairer, and fundamentally better for humanity.

Unlike wrapper companies or point solutions, we are building a full-stack AI platform from the ground up; one that is agentic, vertically integrated, and designed for scale. This gives us the rare ability to solve problems others can’t touch, operating with orders-of-magnitude more efficiency than legacy systems.

Our founding team has scaled category-defining companies in frontier tech, aerospace, mobility, and AI. We’ve led organizations from zero to multibillion-dollar valuations, pioneered new industries, and built products that reshaped how people live and move. Now we’re assembling a small, fiercely talented team to take on our most ambitious challenge yet.

Joining us means working on cutting-edge research with direct application, where your code doesn’t sit in a lab, it changes lives. You’ll be part of an environment that values intellectual rigor, creative rebellion, and the courage to build what others say is impossible.

The Role

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer focused on AI systems to join our Engineering team. You’ll be one of the first engineers focused primarily on designing, building, and scaling AI agents that power Soris’ core platform.

This role is ideal for engineers who have a backend/systems engineering foundation but are now dedicated to specializing in building agentic and intelligent systems.

Candidates with a good fit for this role:

• Want to own the AI systems that redefine how antiquated systems works.

• Have strong backend experience and now want to specialize in AI agents in production.

• Thrive in ambiguity, asking questions and solving problems across infrastructure, data, and AI.

• Believe in building systems that are secure, deterministic, and human-centered.

What You’ll Do

• Design and deploy AI agents that handle real-world workflows.

• Collaborate with backend engineers to integrate AI agents into the core Soris platform.

• Build the infrastructure and APIs needed to train, evaluate, and monitor AI agents in production.

• Ensure agentic systems are reliable, secure, and compliant with industry regulations.

• Contribute across the product lifecycle: architecture, experimentation, implementation, testing, deployment, and monitoring.

• Establish best practices for AI system evaluation, auditability, and safety.

• Work closely with external stakeholders to validate that AI workflows solve real user problems.

Requirements

• 5+ years of backend/systems engineering experience (Python, Go, or similar).

• Strong background in building agentic systems.

• Experience building, deploying, and maintaining ML/AI systems in production.

• Hands-on experience with orchestration frameworks (LangChain, N8N, Temporal etc).

• Familiarity with distributed systems, APIs, databases, and cloud infrastructure (AWS is a big plus).

• Strong collaboration and communication skills; you can explain trade-offs clearly and align AI goals with business needs.

• A builder’s mindset: ownership mentality, bias for action, and curiosity to learn and experiment quickly.

Nice-to-haves

• Background in highly regulated industries (HIPAA, SOC2, HITRUST, PCI etc).

• Contributions to early-stage startups or small teams where wearing multiple hats was essential.

• Knowledge of AI safety, deterministic outputs, and monitoring best practices.

• Knowledge of security and compliance best practices for handling sensitive customer and financial data.

• Experience leading or mentoring others.

Engineering Culture at Soris

Our values guide how we work:

• Extreme Ownership: We own outcomes, not just code. At Soris, we never say “that’s not my job”.

• Always Be Curious: Ask questions. Explore new ways.

• Go Farther Together: Collaboration beats silos.

Why Join Us?

• Competitive compensation package, including salary and equity.

• Benefits include employer-covered health insurance for you, your spouse, and partially for children

• Be part of an engineering team with massive influence on product, culture, and direction.

• Work with cutting-edge AI agents and modern tech stacks.
