We’re looking for a software engineer to join us in inventing a new, better way to do science. You’ll build novel research tools that will transform how scientific discoveries are made for decades to come.

• Designing and building scalable features and infrastructure for AI-powered research tools.
• Engaging directly with customers to gather insights and improve user experience.
• Monitoring and optimizing system performance and costs, making pragmatic tradeoffs to keep us lean and moving fast.
• Establishing best practices for prompt engineering and deployment of new models and workflows.
• Owning the design and automation of eval pipelines to continuously measure, benchmark and improve AI agent quality and reliability.

• You are quick, scrappy and first and foremost a builder. Product at Anara moves lightning fast. We typically take features from idea to production in days, not weeks or months.
• You blend excellent engineering with a taste for models and design.
• You’ve worked on full stack agent behaviors and have hands‑on experience with LLMs, RAG, and agent architectures.
• Have independently built and scaled a product to at least a few thousand users (e.g. a side project or open‑source project).
• Have worked in a high‑growth, fast‑paced environment (ideally another startup) and can drive things forward with relatively little oversight.

This is an in‑person opportunity in San Francisco.

We’re more than happy to sponsor visas. If we make you an offer, we'll work with an immigration attorney to make sure everything goes smoothly.

We offer premium healthcare (medical, dental, etc.), flexible working hours and office space with a beautiful view of the San Francisco marina and Golden Gate bridge.
