Software Engineer, AI (Early Career)

Sourced from jobs.ashbyhq.com

Ande is an AI-powered corporate entertainment platform used by 60+ enterprises to book client dinners, suites, catering, and more. As an early-career Software Engineer on the AI team, you'll build the intelligence behind the Ande Agent — a concierge and its subagents that turn a one-sentence request into a confirmed, paid, on-policy booking. You'll ship to production from your first weeks, owning real parts of the agent end to end while working closely with senior engineers.

• Improve how the concierge and its subagents plan, call tools, and recover from failures
• Build and extend typed capabilities the agent uses to search, hold, book, pay, and message
• Write eval scenarios, graders, and LLM judges; add every fixed bug as a test case
• Build memory and supply data pipelines that turn venue conversations into structured facts
• Ship typed classifiers for consent, triage, ranking, and urgency with thresholds and fallbacks
• Ship with AI coding agents daily and help improve the guides and checks that make them effective

• Degree in Computer Science or Engineering, with 1 year of professional experience plus strong internships, or 1-2 years building with AI
• Something built with LLMs that real people used: tool use, multi-step agents, structured outputs, or evals
• Solid TypeScript or Python and strong fundamentals in data structures, APIs, and databases
• Curiosity about model behavior and the habit of measuring before and after a change
• Daily fluency with AI coding agents and judgment to own what they write
• Clear communication and a bias to ship

• Internships or early roles at a startup or AI-first company
• Experience with evals, prompt engineering, or agent frameworks beyond tutorials
• Experience with search, ranking, or recommendation
• Experience with React, Node, and Postgres
• Shipped something in hospitality, events, payments, or marketplaces
