Senior Product Engineer, Agentic Systems - Exploration Team at blueskyweb.xyz – Washington

About BlueskyBluesky's vision is to make social more like the web itself. We're building a social media app, but beyond that, we've created a protocol that supports a broad ecosystem of applications and clients. Imagine a network of applications — from microblogging to photos to video to long-form writing — all interconnected and accessible with a shared identity.
About The Role:Bluesky’s mission is to build an open protocol for the social internet. Within Bluesky, we’re hiring for a newly formed Expedition team led by the founder and CIO. The Expedition team’s role is to explore what becomes possible at the frontier, and as a founding member of it, you’ll build the first agentic social experiences native to atproto.
If you’re well versed in agentic systems, eager to build new kinds of social experiences, and believes it’s important that the user remains in control, you might be a good fit. We’re looking for experienced developers with a pioneering spirit.
Responsibilities:

• Rapidly prototype, develop, and deploy agentic systems built natively on the AT Protocol
• Collaborate directly with the founder to surface new ideas and iterate on product direction
• Own significant surface area: architecture decisions, implementation, and iteration based on real user feedback
• Research and develop novel interaction paradigms that extend what users can do
• Work on infrastructure such as memory systems, semantic search, and large scale databases
• Design and implement the infrastructure that makes agents reliable: context management, task execution, and behavioral guardrails

You might be a good fit if you:

• Have strong fundamental programming skills
• Have hands-on experience building with modern language models and are thoughtful about where they add genuine user value
• Have extensive experience with Go or Typescript/React (e.g. 5+ years)
• Have built consumer software at scale (>1M active users)
• Have some experience with database systems (e.g. Postgres, MySQL, SQLite)
• Have some experience with search systems (e.g. Elasticsearch)
• Like working on small, fast-moving teams with high autonomy
• Are excited to go deep on the AT Protocol
• Have built new things from scratch

You might be a bad fit if you:

• Don’t like uncertainty and need a roadmap handed to you
• Like a regular work schedule without intense sprints
• Just want to write code without thinking about the whole system

We’re a fully remote team, but an overlap of working hours with PST is required, and for this role, proximity and willingness to travel to Seattle or SF is a plus. We offer health, dental, and vision insurance.
If you’re the kind of engineer who believes the social web should be open and that users should control their experience, join us.
The world is changing and there is no map. The Expedition team ventures into the unknown.
