The startup emphasizes a real-time feedback loop and end-to-end project ownership, with the first 30 days focused on rapid onboarding and independent project leadership.", "body_md": "**Why you should join us**\n\n- We’re building a\n**research lab with a real-time feedback loop.**\n- We’re building\n**AI systems that expand how quickly a small research team can understand, build, and experiment.**\n- Our edge is the\n**speed at which we can form ideas, build systems, run experiments, and learn from reality.**\n- You’ll work directly with the founders and have\n**real ownership over what we build and how we build it.**\n- We’re a small team with over a decade of experience at places like\n**Optiver, DRW, and Argo AI.**\n\n**What you’ll do**\n\n- Build\n**LLM-powered systems and agent harnesses** that help us research, engineer, and operate faster.\n- Design the infrastructure around them:\n**tools, context, memory, evals, orchestration, observability, and execution environments.**\n- Find new ways to turn frontier models into\n**reliable systems that do useful work.**\n- Work across the stack when needed. At our size,\n**the problem matters more than the job boundary.**\n- Own projects end-to-end: identify opportunities, prototype quickly, ship, measure what works, and iterate.\n\n**What we’re looking for**\n\n- You have\n**unusually high initiative**: you notice important problems, figure out what should exist, and make it happen without waiting to be told.\n- You’re\n**technically sharp and learn extremely quickly.**\n- You’ve built seriously with\n**LLMs, agents, harnesses, or adjacent AI infrastructure.**\n- You move quickly, reason from first principles, and enjoy problems where\n**the right architecture has not been figured out yet.**\n- You care more about\n**what works in practice** than following established patterns.\n- Curiosity, intensity, and technical judgment matter much more to us than credentials or years of experience.\n\n### Your first 30 days\n\n**First week:** learn how we work, find something important that could be dramatically better, and start making it better.\n**By 15 days:** take ownership of a meaningful technical problem end-to-end, including deciding what to build and how to measure whether it works.\n**By 30 days:** we want you independently identifying what matters and driving projects that materially increase what the team can do.\n\nYou’ll have the autonomy and resources to do some of the **best work of your life.**\n\nWebsite: **https://attimet.com**\n\nJobs: **https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/attimet/jobs**\n\nThis is an on-site role based in San Francisco, CA.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/attimet-yc-f24-is-hiring-members-of-technical-staff-engineering-and-research", "canonical_source": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/attimet/jobs/6btZFDg-member-of-technical-staff-engineering", "published_at": "2026-08-28 17:00:06+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-28 17:18:49.818976+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-startups", "ai-research", "ai-agents", "large-language-models", "ai-infrastructure"], "entities": ["Attimet", "Y Combinator", "Optiver", "DRW", "Argo AI"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/attimet-yc-f24-is-hiring-members-of-technical-staff-engineering-and-research", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/attimet-yc-f24-is-hiring-members-of-technical-staff-engineering-and-research.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/attimet-yc-f24-is-hiring-members-of-technical-staff-engineering-and-research.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/attimet-yc-f24-is-hiring-members-of-technical-staff-engineering-and-research.jsonld"}}
