At LangChain, our mission is to make intelligent agents ubiquitous. We build the foundation for agent engineering in the real world, helping developers move from prototypes to production-ready AI agents that teams can rely on. We began as widely adopted open-source tools and have grown to also offer a platform for building, evaluating, deploying, and operating agents at scale. With $125M raised at Series B from IVP, Sequoia, Benchmark, CapitalG, and Sapphire Ventures, we’re at a stage where we’re continuing to develop new products, growth is accelerating, and all team members have meaningful impact on what we build and how we work together. LangChain is a place where your contributions can shape how this technology shows up in the real world. Today, our platform includes LangSmith (Observability, Evaluation, Deployment, Fleet, and Sandboxes), our open source frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, and Deep Agents), and the newly launched LangSmith Engine for autonomous agent improvement. We have 100M+ monthly open source downloads, 6,000+ active LangSmith customers, and 5 of the Fortune 10 use LangSmith in production (+ 35% of the Fortune 500 overall), including teams at Klarna, Clay, Coinbase, Workday, Lyft, Cloudflare, Harvey, Rippling, Vanta, LinkedIn, Monday.com, Nvidia, and Bridgewater. The LangSmith Engine team is building a proactive agent engineer that analyzes production traces, identifies important failures, recommends and writes fixes, and helps prevent those issues from coming back. We’re building agents that can understand complex software systems and continuously improve the quality of other AI agents.

Чем предстоит заниматься

We’re looking for an experienced research engineer to help make the Engine agent more capable and more efficient

You’ll study real agent failures, build benchmarks that capture what matters, run experiments to improve performance, and turn successful ideas into production. This may include prompting and agent-harness improvements, model selection, fine-tuning and post-training custom models. The focus is on measurable improvements to the overall agent

This role also requires a understanding of production engineering and system-level tradeoffs. Engine is a production system, so improving an agent is not just about maximizing benchmark performance—it also means understanding the impact on cost, latency, reliability, and scalability. You’ll work in the same team with production engineers to design, test, and ship improvements that work reliably in real-world environments

Location: SF and NYC

Build and maintain benchmarks and evaluations that measure the quality and efficiency of Engine agents on real-world tasks

Design and run experiments to improve agent performance across models, prompting, context, tools, orchestration, and agent strategies

Explore and implement post-training and fine-tuning techniques when they can meaningfully improve agent capabilities, quality, or cost

Turn successful experiments into production improvements, working closely with engineers and researchers to measure impact and prevent regressions

Help define the ML roadmap and technical direction for improving Engine agents, and mentor other engineers through strong technical leadership

Наши требования

4+ years of experience in ML/AI research, or a closely related field

Master’s or Ph.D. in a relevant scientific field

Hands-on experience working with LLMs and AI agents, including analyzing model behavior and improving real-world performance

Strong experience designing benchmarks, evaluations, and experiments for AI/ML systems; you know how to tell whether a change actually made an agent better

Strong software engineering skills, with a track record of taking ideas from research prototype to measurable production impact

You can identify high-impact problems, work through ambiguity, move quickly, and communicate your findings clearly

Ph.D. in Machine Learning, Computer Science or Physics

Hands on experience with LLM-as-a-judge, automated graders, synthetic data generation, or human evaluation

Hands on experience with reinforcement learning, preference optimization, SFT, RLHF/RLAIF, or other post-training techniques for LLMs

Experience optimizing LLM agents for cost, latency, or task efficiency on productions

Experience with model serving, inference optimization, distributed systems, or GPU infrastructure
