Software Engineer, General

If you're a great engineer with a wide-ranging skill set, we want you to apply and join the team. You'll help us build Hermes Agent, Nous Portal, and other infrastructure that powers Nous Research. A lot of our team is made up of generalist engineers, and people like this tend to fit really well here. WHAT YOU MIGHT WORK ON: - Product surfaces people touch every day across Hermes Agent and Nous Portal, on web, desktop, and mobile. - Backend services and APIs that hold up under real usage. - The cloud platform and infrastructure behind our products and model serving. - Developer and research tooling that makes the rest of the team faster. - Whatever the highest-leverage problem is that quarter, which is not always predictable at a company moving this fast. WHAT WE LOOK FOR: - A few years building and shipping production software that real people depend on. - Depth in at least one area (frontend, backend, infrastructure, systems, or ML tooling) and the range to work outside it. - Fluency in the languages we use day to day, mainly TypeScript and Python, and comfort reaching for a systems language like Rust when it's the right call. - Strong ownership: you see something broken or missing and you fix it without waiting to be asked. - Heavy use of AI-assisted development in your own workflow. - Clear communication and low ego, because the team is small and everyone reads each other's code. PREFERRED: - Experience with AI products, LLM applications, agents, or tool-calling workflows. - Open-source contributions, or side projects you're proud enough to show us. - Familiarity with modern AI infrastructure: PyTorch, OpenAI-compatible APIs, model routing, or inference.
