Catalyst·Wayfare AI
Lead AI Engineer + Agent Builders | Remote (US)
hn · Remote (US)
Jose is an exceptional match for both roles, with 12 years of shipping systems and 2+ years of proven production LLM/agentic work at scale. He's architected multi-agent LangGraph systems, built real-time voice products serving thousands concurrent users, and owns full-stack AI systems end-to-end from infrastructure to interface—exactly what both the Lead and Builder positions require. His experience integrating complex AI systems into enterprise environments (emergency response infrastructure, ecommerce data platforms, regulated domains) and his comfort with production monitoring, cost optimization, and build-vs-buy decisions align perfectly with the company's ethos of shipping working systems in regulated industries.
Hook: Your founding engineer background shipping LLM agents at scale and owning multi-agent system architecture end-to-end makes you exactly the technical lead Catalyst·Wayfare needs to architect agentic systems for regulated enterprises.
Missing: Claude-specific production experience (familiar with OpenAI/LangChain primarily), Explicit mention of enterprise IT environment integrations at regulated companies, Custom eval harness development and monitoring practices

Hi, I'm applying for the Lead AI Engineer, Agentic Systems role. At Addie I'm the sole engineer behind a LangGraph multi-agent system delivering real-time counseling across web, SMS, voice, and WhatsApp — sub-200ms WebRTC voice on the OpenAI Realtime API, students in 10+ countries, 99.9% message reliability. I owned the architecture, the build-vs-buy calls across model/voice/transcription providers, and cost-per-conversation targets. Before that I spent years shipping systems where failure is expensive: emergency-response infrastructure ingesting tens of millions of 911 calls for NIST/FEMA, and developer platforms at Twilio. That regulated, high-stakes context is exactly where your finance/energy/healthcare clients live. I've shipped Claude, OpenAI, and Gemini in production and treat evals as first-class, not an afterthought. Comfortable with monthly travel and embedding alongside client engineering teams. Happy to share more or jump on a call. Jose Oliveros chinnno15@gmail.com
