Hiring: Intelligence Architect Company: Basis Location: New York, NY Job Posted Time: 2026-09-13 11:54:33 Target Skills & Keywords : Spring About the job Required Skills: •Every team building agents has access to the same models. Most of the attention goes to the product and its behaviors. The compounding work sits underneath: what the agent knows, how it reasons about its work, and how we measure whether it did the job well. •To deliver frontier intelligence, we treat context like a product. The procedures, the skills, the system prompts. Each is owned, versioned, and held to a quality bar. •Architecting and authoring our agents' context. •You decide what context our agents need, how it's structured, and what each layer says. You write the procedures, skills, and system prompts they consume. •Onsistency across our agents is your primary mission. You define how procedures should be written, what makes a skill document load-bearing, when context is ready to ship. Each product team operates to the standards you set. •You watch the agents at work. When their output isn't good enough, you’ll define what's missing in the context and solve it. The measurement work is shared with product and eval teams; the writing work is yours. •Your perspective informs what we build next. You see across both the agents of today and the possibilities of tomorrow as the substrate improves. That view feeds into product decisions about which surfaces become possible and which existing ones graduate to higher capability. Qualifications: •You treat language as load-bearing. You catch the sentence that will be misread before it ships. You have excellent taste. •You see how individual parts contribute to an overall system. When something breaks, your first question isn't what failed but how the system allowed it. •Working from causes, not effects. •You don't accept "it works" as evidence that you understand why. You want to know what’s caused the improvement, and which layer allowed the failure. •The questions in this role don't have answers in any textbook. That's the part that excites you, not the part that worries you. •You build accurate mental models of new fields fast. The accountants and engineers you work with should feel that you understand their work, not just talk about it. •There are often no right answers. What you write becomes binding and shapes thousands of agent decisions. You take that seriously without being paralyzed by it. •Holding many things at once. •You hold the user's problem, the agent's behavior, the procedure's language, and the measure of success in your head at once. You don't lose the thread. •Who might be a fit Compensation: •Health & Wellness: Premium Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage; Life Insurance; and 6 coaching & 6 therapy sessions through Spring Health Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
