Lead teams to build AI products using LLMs, focusing on observability and optimization techniques, while mentoring junior engineers.
At ASAPP, our mission is simple: deliver the best AI-powered customer experience—faster than anyone else. To achieve that, we’re guided by principles that shape how we think, build, and execute. We value customer obsession, purposeful speed, ownership, and a relentless focus on outcomes. We work in tight, skilled teams, prioritize clarity over complexity, and continuously evolve through curiosity, data, and craftsmanship.
We are on a mission to build transformative AI-powered products that push the boundaries of artificial intelligence and customer experience. We focus on solving complex, data-rich problems — the kind where there are huge systemic inefficiencies and where a real solution will have a significant economic impact. Our Generative Agent platform uses generative AI across both voice and digital engagement channels to automate human work, radically increasing productivity and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of customer experience teams. This platform uses generative AI from top to bottom: to configure, test, run, monitor and correct agent behavior.
ASAPP’s Generative Agent team is seeking an enterprising, experienced and curious leader to help drive major technical initiatives and explorations. This role will be focused on leading multiple teams building core product capabilities, primarily in the areas of observability of agentic systems, designing and building feedback loops to improve agentic systems, and techniques for diagnosing issues / optimizing prompt configurations.
