Mirage is an AI-native video platform that uses natural language to intelligently orchestrate video production and editing. The platform leverages generative models to execute creative decisions that professional editors would make, improving productivity for experienced teams while democratizing video creation.
As a Software Engineer on the Agents team, you will design and build agentic systems that power creative workflows for short-form video. You'll work across product, machine learning, and systems engineering to own meaningful problems end-to-end and help define how agents are built and deployed across the product.
Key responsibilities include:
- Building and shipping end-to-end agentic systems that improve creative workflows, balancing quality, performance, and reliability
- Designing agent architectures that gather context, plan, select tools, and execute creative tasks reliably at scale
- Integrating state-of-the-art models, combining internal research and external capabilities to power new agent experiences
- Measuring and improving agent quality in production through experimentation, evaluation frameworks, and real-world feedback
You should have 5+ years of professional industry experience with a track record of designing and developing ML systems or agentic pipelines in production. Deep expertise in context engineering (RAG systems, token optimization, context management at scale) and experience building evaluation systems and agentic infrastructure are essential. You'll need exceptional problem-solving fundamentals, the ability to learn quickly in a rapidly evolving space, and the capacity to operate effectively in a fast-paced environment while scoping and delivering projects end-to-end.
Ideal candidates may have experience with multi-agent architectures, fine-tuning LLMs for specific use cases, or a strong understanding of where generative media and agentic AI technology is heading. The company values grounded, collaborative team members willing to do whatever it takes to help the team succeed, and particularly welcomes startup founders or early-stage engineers.
The role is based in-person at Mirage's NYC headquarters in Union Square. The company is backed by top-tier investors including Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Kleiner Perkins, and Index Ventures, and has been recognized as one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies.
