Platform Engineer | Build the Backend for HR’s Agentic Era

About Wisq

Backed by top-tier VCs — Norwest, True Ventures, and Shasta — Wisq is building the world's first Agentic HR platform and AI agents that streamline complex business processes, elevate the employee experience, and free teams to focus on truly strategic work. We're seeking talented platform engineers to help us blend deep domain expertise with cutting-edge tech and build the world's most advanced agentic platform.

The Challenge

As part of our Platform team, you'll tackle complex technical challenges that push the boundaries of what AI can do:

• Build no-code agentic orchestration frameworks that integrate seamlessly with enterprise systems.
• Design pioneering memory architectures that overcome traditional RAG limits, giving agents persistent context across complex processes.
• Train domain-optimized reasoning LLMs that unlock reasoning capabilities and reduce hallucinations for nuanced business scenarios.
• Engineer scalable backend services that power intuitive UIs for seamless human-AI collaboration on documents and processes.

Who You Are

We're looking for versatile, brilliant engineers who thrive across the full spectrum of AI challenges—from LLM fine-tuning to agentic workflows. You'll transcend traditional tech stack roles, build not only AI platforms but also leverage AI to multiply your productivity.

Whether you've demonstrated proven success through 5+ years developing distributed systems, implementing microservices, and creating ML/generative AI solutions, or through academic excellence at a top CS program and standout performance in your cohort—we value intelligence, drive, and work ethic above all.

Working at Wisq

Our platform tech stack includes (but isn't limited to) Python, Java, Kafka, vector databases, reactive programming frameworks, commercial and open-weight LLMs—though we're just as ready to adopt or invent new tools if the task calls for it.

Our high-velocity team moves fast, thinks big, and constantly pushes the boundaries of what's possible at the bleeding edge of AI technology. We work hard, but maintain a deeply collaborative and fun-loving atmosphere—from virtual lunches and draw battles to cooking classes that bring our distributed team together. While our headquarters is in Redwood City, CA, we operate as a hybrid/remote team across the US.

Wisq offers comprehensive health benefits, 401K, and a startup-level equity package. Join us in building the future of work with AI. For more details about this position, please contact CTO Chih-Po Wen at careers@wisq.com.
