Job Description

Own ingestion systems and APIs for LangChain's observability platform. Design and operate high-throughput systems built on SmithDB for distributed AI frameworks.

Responsibilities:

  • Build and scale critical systems: design and operate high-throughput, data-intensive ingestion and trace-query systems supporting LangSmith, built on SmithDB, our purpose-built database for agent observability. Build monitoring, alerting, and automated recovery so the pipeline stays resilient.
  • Set API, SDK, and CLI standards: define and enforce the standards, tooling, and CI that power SDK generation across Python, TypeScript, Go, and Java; keep our developer surfaces consistent, high-quality, and self-served across feature teams.
  • Own integrations: build new integrations and maintain existing ones so it's easy to use LangSmith with any AI framework, agent, or tool — keeping us framework-agnostic
  • Solve complex problems: debug performance bottlenecks, optimize database queries, and architect solutions for distributed-system challenges
  • Respond to incidents: participate in an on-call rotation focused on post-incident learning, automation, and prevention

Requirements:

  • hands-on experience designing and running data-intensive systems at scale
  • a track record of building high-quality, widely-adopted CLIs, SDKs, or API standards that developers actually enjoy using
  • production experience with OSS datastores (PostgreSQL, Redis)
  • Strong backend software engineering skills with production-level experience in Go, Python, or TypeScript
  • solid knowledge of cloud object storage, Kubernetes, containerized infrastructure, and cloud platforms (GCP, AWS)
  • hands-on experience with observability stacks (Datadog, Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry, or similar)
  • "you build it, you run it, you own it," with a focus on sustainable practices

Benefits:

  • health and dental coverage
  • flexible vacation
  • 401(k) plan
  • life insurance
