About the role
You will build products on top of language models the way production software is built: with an understanding of how the model actually behaves, evals instead of vibes, and the engineering discipline of a specialist in at least one niche.
AI coding has blurred the line between niche specialists and generalists. What still separates people who can ship from people who cannot is a strong base in one domain plus real software-engineering principles — with today’s tools, that combination does wonders. That is who this posting is written for. One posting covers two levels, Engineer and Senior; the level is decided in the process, not by the years on a CV.
What you will do
- Design and ship LLM-backed systems end to end — agents, workflows, tool use, retrieval — on Cloudflare Workers, TypeScript and Terraform, the stack every Scaledex system runs on.
- Own the harness: Claude Code skills, agents, hooks and memory; tool design; context and cost budgets; how a system recovers when the model is wrong.
- Build evals and gates before features: golden sets, adversarial checks, regression runs on every prompt change.
- Read model behaviour closely — where it hallucinates, when it over-complies, what it does under long context — and design around it rather than hoping.
- Review code, write design notes, and explain what you built on the blog in the house voice.
What we look for
Required
- Software you shipped and kept running in one niche — web platforms, data systems, mobile, infrastructure — with the principles that come from that: tests, types, observability, boundaries.
- Hands-on LLM work you can show: a system with tools or agents, how you evaluated it, what broke in production and what you changed.
- Fluency with an agentic coding harness (Claude Code preferred): skills, agents, hooks, memory, and an opinion on where they stop helping.
- TypeScript in earnest; Cloudflare Workers, D1, R2 or an equivalent serverless platform; Git as a daily tool.
Useful
- Terraform or another infrastructure-as-code tool; Python for evals and data work; a public write-up or talk; Bangla for client conversations.
Not for
- People whose only path to working code is prompting until it runs. You will be asked to debug, to test non-deterministic outputs, and to say when a model should not be used at all.
How we assess
- Apply with the form: the system you built, a repository you are proud of, and a few short answers. About 30 minutes.
- A reply within five working days, yes or no, with a reason.
- One conversation of 45 minutes about that system and one debugging story.
- A short exercise — half a day, paid — on a real harness from our repository, or a two-hour live pairing session; your choice.
- An offer within a week of the exercise, after references.
What we offer
- A monthly salary agreed at offer for the level you come in at; tell us your expectation in the form and we will tell you ours in the first conversation.
- Hybrid work with a desk in Gulshan-1, the equipment you need, a budgeted allowance for AI tokens, and a learning budget.
- Ownership from the first conversation to the running system, in a company that writes about what it builds and teaches it in its workshops.
