ABOUT THE ROLE Alpha isn’t a chatbot sitting on top of a product. It’s an agent that reads a customer’s account, reasons about their plan, and prepares real orders for them to confirm. The model is the easy part. The hard part is everything around it: the tools it calls, the context it sees, how a request gets routed, the guardrails that keep it away from anything that must be exact, and the deterministic systems underneath that place orders, move money and consume events. You’ll own parts of that system end to end, from spec to production. When something goes wrong in a conversation, you’ll be the one who opens the traces and finds where the run went wrong. You’ll decide whether the fix belongs in a tool, a prompt, the routing, the backend or the model, and prove it with an eval. Then you’ll explain it so product, design and other squads can act on it. Much of the work crosses squads. Alpha integrates with Thndr’s order, funding, savings and market-data services, so you’ll write proposals other teams adopt as well as code. We also work with served models beyond Alpha, so some of the work goes below the API: choosing, evaluating, fine-tuning and serving models for other Thndr products. We work through coding agents every day. We expect you to be very good at running your own and at helping others fix their workflows. This is an R&D role, and we hire for breadth on purpose. Most of your time goes to Alpha, but the same person who fixes a routing failure on Monday might be benchmarking an open model, prototyping an agent for another squad, or testing whether a new technique is worth adopting by Friday. We expect you to pick up unfamiliar problems quickly, take them from research to something running in production, and know when an experiment should stop. WHAT YOU'LL DO • Own parts of Alpha end to end. Take a module, such as a tool family, the evaluation pipeline or an integration, and be accountable for how it behaves, its quality in production, and its long-term heal…
