Founding SWE / MLE
Salus, San Francisco, California +2
The role
We're looking for a founding engineer who is genuinely cracked across three things most people are only good at one of: LLMs and agents, systems, and shipping real software. You'd be one of our first engineers, working directly with me on everything from the core product to deploying Salus inside customer codebases to the research that keeps us ahead.
What you will do
- Build the core enforcement engine, the thing that intercepts tool calls, evaluates policy deterministically, and returns something the agent can actually recover from
- Go into customer codebases and get Salus deployed against real agent stacks (LangChain, LangGraph, MCP, whatever they're running)
- Work on the research side with us, benchmarks, adversarial evaluation, and the harder problems around agent authorization and provenance that our papers come out of
