We are looking for Software Engineers to work with a leading Frontier LLM Lab to help accelerate their Agentic Data Cloud roadmap by building and scaling tools for next-generation AI-powered data systems. You will work on developing MCP tools, improving AI-assisted developer workflows, and expanding platform capabilities across the Data Cloud ecosystem.
What does day-to-day life look like?
MCP Tool Development: Implement a variety of MCP tools for both managed MCP servers and the open-source MCP Toolbox for Databases.
Agentic Integration: Expand test coverage and functionality for tools and skills utilized by leading agentic coding assistants (e.g., Gemini CLI, Claude Code, and other IDE-integrated agents).
Code Maintenance & Refactoring: Take ownership of the MCP Toolbox for Databases codebase, focusing on refactoring legacy components and maintaining high-quality test suites.
Technical Documentation: Bridge the gap between engineering and community adoption by converting technical blog posts into functional toolbox sample code and comprehensive documentation.
R&D Support: Build and maintain a realistic, high-fidelity data application using QueryData. Use this environment as a primary testbed to support ongoing Product R&D, with a specific focus on advancing the Context Engineering Agent.
