Position Summary:
As a Software Engineer at Pax8 Labs, you will build autonomous AI agents that fundamentally change how small businesses operate. This is largely uncharted territory - we're pioneering new approaches to agent architecture, multi-system coordination, and real-world AI deployment. You'll work on cutting-edge problems while building systems that will reach thousands of partners through Pax8's marketplace platform.
We're exploring how autonomous software agents can transform business operations, from MSP automation to workflow orchestration to intelligent process capture. Working closely with our Engineering Manager, Technical Fellow, and cross-functional team, you'll tackle hard technical problems in autonomous agent systems, helping to define both the technology and the engineering culture as we scale.
Essential Responsibilities:
- Build scalable backend services and APIs for autonomous AI agent systems
- Integrate and deploy AI models and machine learning frameworks in production
- Design agent orchestration systems that coordinate multiple specialized agents
- Write high-quality code with comprehensive testing, code reviews, and system optimization
- Collaborate with ML/AI engineers to deploy and optimize agent capabilities
- Work closely with product and design teams to build intuitive user experiences for complex AI
- Build reusable libraries and frameworks to enhance team productivity
- Evaluate emerging technologies and help make architectural decisions
- Mentor other engineers and contribute to our learning culture
Ideal Skills, Experience, and Competencies:
- Modern Development: Embrace AI tools where they add genuine value, from coding assistance to automated testing
- Async-First Communication: Thoughtful documentation (Slack, Notion, Loom), with focused in-person collaboration 2-3 days per week in our Denver office
