About the role

Helios is hiring a Staff/Senior Software Engineer, Agent Engineering in New York City. You will own and advance the agent runtime powering Proxi’s research, analysis, and action capabilities, ensuring safe tool use, source-grounded outputs, and scalable agent workflows. Work closely with the CTO and founding team to push the boundaries of regulated, high-stakes systems, with on-site collaboration in SoHo five days per week.

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.
