About the role
Perplexity seeks energetic engineers to join the Agent Engine team, building frontier intelligence systems including Perplexity Computer, the Comet ecosystem, and our Agent API. You will bring AI expertise and a tinkerer's mindset to advance agents for millions of users across local execution, cloud, and custom executors. You’ll work with a small, fast-moving team on design, model training, and secure-by-design architectures, delivering delightful, reliable agent experiences across environments.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
