$145,000-$210,000or$155,000-$220,000, depending on geographic tier. - Location: remote-first within the United States and U.S. territories.
- Application: Open listing.
- App brief: improve the reasoning, tools, backend, reliability, and evaluation loop for an AI agent that helps users build and test Unqork applications.
- App suitability reminder: strong fit on product-minded full-stack systems, React/JavaScript, AI-enabled workflows, developer tooling, and agentic product thinking.
Company thesis:
- Unqork provides a low-code/no-code platform for complex enterprise applications.
- This role builds the agentic layer that helps customers create those applications, combining applied AI, developer tooling, and production backend systems.
Fit for me:
- Strongest match: agentic product thinking and human-agent workflow design.
- Second match: product judgment, full-stack development, developer tools, and low-code platform context.
- Third match: evaluation, recovery, observability, and feedback loops for real-world AI usage.
- Biggest gap: direct ownership of large-scale production AI backends in TypeScript and Python.
- Risk or concern: Staff-level expectations may emphasize distributed backend depth more than product/generalist range.

Signal to research:
- How Unqork applications are composed, tested, and operated.
- The agent's tool surface and current failure modes.
- How Unqork measures agent quality and production reliability.
- The balance between agent behavior work and backend platform engineering.
Interview prep:
- Story to prepare: designing a human-agent workflow with explicit context, tools, validation, and recovery.
- Technical topic to refresh: agent evaluation, failure recovery, observability, and scalable asynchronous services.
- Customer scenario to practice: an application-building agent produces plausible but invalid output; design detection, correction, and feedback.
- Smart question to ask: "Which agent-quality metric has proven most predictive of a user successfully shipping a working Unqork application?"
- Resume / cover letter angle: product-minded agent systems builder focused on trustworthy human-agent collaboration and measurable workflow outcomes.
Next action:
- Turn one Superprism agent workflow into a concise production-quality and evaluation story.
