What are the responsibilities and job description for the Product Engineer position at Letta?
Our background
Letta is a company founded around the MemGPT project (13k GitHub stars). The founding team comes from the same research lab and PhD advisors at Berkeley that produced Spark ( Databricks) and Ray ( Anyscale). We have deep expertise in both AI and systems, are currently hiring a founding team of exceptional engineers to join us in building the next generation of LLM agent technology.
You can read more about Letta on TechCrunch and our blog.
At Letta, we are re-imagining the developer experience for building, deploying, and interacting with advanced AI agents. We believe the true potential of AI can only be reached if developers are given the tools to deeply understand how their agents are working through open AI systems and innovative product design. We are creating a developer experience that prioritizes :
- Transparency : We don't believe in trying to hide the inner workings of agents (unlike closed AI companies) or trying to impose unnecessary abstractions : instead, we focus on providing tools to help developers understand exactly how their agents are interfacing with LLMs (e.g. what exactly is being placed into the LLM context window and why).
- Control : Developers should have granular control of model backends, memory, cross-agent communication, and tools - but getting starting and integrating end applications should be simple and seamless.
- Experience : LLMs are an incredible technology, and working with LLMs should be a joyful and exciting experience. We care deeply about building best-in-class products that are beautifully designed.
As a product engineer, you will help build, design and define how developers will interface with our agent framework through our application surfaces :
You will work closely with designers, researchers, and the founders to build the visual interfaces for innovative agent functionality (e.g. multi-agent collaboration, memory, voice, etc.). You will interface closely with customers and Letta's active open source community to understand their agent use-cases and how the developer experience can be improved.
