About the job

Mirage is an AI video company focused on making creation dramatically easier by building multimodal agents that turn creative direction into edits, rendering engines that composite video and graphics, and generative video models. Our technology, including Captions (a creative workspace) and Tesseract (a video engine for AI agents), is now available more broadly through APIs. This role focuses on designing and building agentic systems that power creative workflows for short-form video, shaping how AI agents reduce friction, accelerate learning, and unlock new creative possibilities for users. You will experiment with emerging models and techniques to bring these experiences to life in production, working across product, machine-learning, and systems engineering to own problems end-to-end and help define how our agents are built and deployed.

Responsibilities

  • Build and ship end-to-end agentic systems that improve creative workflows, balancing quality, performance, and reliability.
  • Design agent architectures for context gathering, planning, tool selection, and reliable execution at scale.
  • Integrate state-of-the-art models, combining internal research and external capabilities to power new agent experiences.
  • Measure and improve agent quality in production using experimentation, evaluation frameworks, and real-world feedback.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional industry experience.
  • Track record of designing and developing ML systems or agentic pipelines in production.
  • Deep experience with context engineering: RAG systems, token optimization, context management at scale.
  • Experience building evaluation systems and agentic infrastructure (context gathering, tool selection, multi-step planning).
  • Exceptional problem-solving fundamentals and ability to learn quickly.
  • Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced environment and scope/deliver projects end-to-end.
  • Experience with multi-agent architectures (preferred).
  • Experience fine-tuning LLMs for specific use cases (preferred).
  • Understanding of generative media and agentic AI technology trends (preferred).

  • Commuter Benefits
  • Catered lunch multiple days per week
  • Dinner stipend every night if working late
  • Grubhub subscription
