Job description
ABOUT PARADIGM
Our mission is to build a new type of workspace that lets every knowledge worker leverage the power of LLMs to scale immense amounts of research in a simple and intuitive UI. Paradigm lets users utilize its purpose-built infrastructure to orchestrate hundreds of thousands of agents to process millions of tokens per minute, compressing days of research into seconds.
Our team must confront and solve problems unique to parallelizing agents at this magnitude, not limited to: race conditions for 10^5 agents writing to a data model simultaneously, realtime transmission of agent outputs across all services to the client, optimizing for both write throughput and in-memory footprint for each agent.

- Prior experience with: React, TypeScript, Go, Postgres.
- Bonus if you're familiar with: Tanstack (Query, Router), Websockets, Zustand
What your day could look like
- Building the UI for agent research traces
- Codifying team-wide processes into skills to share
- Debugging connectivity between client and server states to improve consistency
- Defining models to standardize API contracts
- Triage issues and running ad-hoc RCA's to maintain product stability
