About this Role
Tasklet is building the AI platform companies use to run their business on agents. A customer describes an outcome in plain English, and Tasklet gets the work done across their tools and systems
What you'll do
- Regardless of level, this is a hands-on IC role: everyone at Tasklet personally builds and ships. Your work may center on one of the following areas or span several of them:
What you need
- You’re an exceptional problem solver with strong computer-science fundamentals.
- You reason from first principles, form clear mental models, and see how parts interact within a larger system.
- You’ve shipped meaningful, high-quality production software and owned it after launch. You can debug a problem wherever it leads.
- You care about both clean design and real outcomes, whether that means product craft, performance, correctness, security, reliability, safety, cost, or operational simplicity.
- You learn quickly, operate well with ambiguity, and prefer responsibility over process.
- You use AI deeply in your own work. We don’t require prior professional AI experience, but we do expect you to already be seriously engaged: using current models, probing their limits, following the field closely, and forming your own views about where AI systems are going and how they should work.
Product
Build Tasklet’s user-facing product across web, mobile, and other surfaces.
Invent clear interactions for delegating work to agents, following their progress, handling uncertainty, and using their output.
Own features end to end, from early product thinking through polished production software.
Prototype quickly, learn from customers, and turn the best ideas into durable systems.
Platform
Build backend APIs and services that power Tasklet’s product.
Develop core systems for identity, workspaces, sharing, permissions, billing, payments, and analytics.
Build reliable infrastructure for connectors, authentication, webhooks, automations, and third-party integrations.
Design simple abstractions and data models that can support a fast-changing product.
Own systems in production and improve their correctness, security, reliability, and operational simplicity.
AI Infrastructure
Build the agent harness, including orchestration, tool execution, state, evaluation, and failure recovery.
Develop context-management, filesystem, memory, storage, and sandboxed-execution systems.
Work on model routing and serving, databases, Kubernetes, networking, queues, and cloud infrastructure.
Make long-running agent workloads faster, safer, more reliable, and more cost-efficient.
Turn fast-moving advances in models and agent systems into robust production capabilities.
For all three areas, you’ll work across the stack and across role boundaries whenever that is the best way to solve the problem.
