Software Engineer - AI Agents

San Francisco only

Assembled is building software to transform and elevate customer support teams, which often represent 20-50% of the people at a company. Our workforce management platform helps some of the fastest-growing, most innovative companies in the world—including Stripe, Etsy, and Robinhood—to schedule, forecast, and organize their support teams. We’ve raised $70m in funding from the likes of NEA, Emergence Capital, and Stripe itself. You’ll be joining a special group of people who learned the ropes at companies like Stripe, Google, Atlassian, Twitter, Airbnb, Looker, NEA, Bain, and more.

The Team

There’s a ton of work support agents handle that they don’t particularly enjoy — things like managing upset customers, sorting and tagging emails, or having to say no because of policy limits. Thanks to recent technological advancements, it’s now possible to automate a lot of these tasks, letting agents focus on work they’re better at and actually enjoy.

Our Assist Team is a small, forward-thinking group, operating like a “startup within a startup” led by our CTO, John Wang. The team is building an AI-based product that boosts the efficiency of support teams. With agentic workflows, we create AI-driven responses to support inquiries, helping agents send faster and more accurate replies, or even automatically handling responses when confidence is high.

Responsibilities

As a Software Engineer on the Assist Team, you will:

  • Build foundational new features: Develop product features from the ground up, such as implementing translation capabilities powered by LLMs and intelligent categorization of incoming tickets. You’ll help design and build a workflow builder that distills the complexity of workflows into a simple, intuitive interface, making powerful tools accessible and easy to use for support agents.
  • Improve LLM model results: Enhance our retrieval augmented generation engine using techniques like vector search, document re-ranking, and hypothetical document embeddings. You’ll help us leverage implicit knowledge bases like past tickets and macros to improve model performance.
  • Develop LLM Infrastructure: Architect the abstractions that enable the integration of various types of LLMs tailored for different applications. You’ll design and implement evaluation and logging systems to monitor performance and build interfaces that expand our platform's capabilities.
  • Engage with customers: Collaborate with our customers (both support agents and managers) to understand their needs, how they interact with our product, and how we can improve their lives.
  • Wear many hats: Be versatile in roles — coding, user research, planning, brainstorming, interviewing, and cross-team collaboration.
  • Shape the team culture: Encourage a startup mentality that’s all about staying positive, aiming for top-notch product quality, and taking initiative.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
