Airyhr is an AI-native HR platform for Southeast Asian SMEs. Our first product automates the recruiting funnel end to end — sourcing, screening, outreach, and interview scheduling — and converts every hire into a payroll record. We are incubated by an established Singapore HR services group with an existing SME client base, so your work ships to paying customers from day one.
On-site in Singapore initially, remote-friendly thereafter.
WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS
The product is live and working for its first users. Taking it from "works" to "scales" requires someone who has actually built and operated LLM agents in production — that is the gap this role fills. You will be the primary hands-on engineer on the core product, with our CTO closely involved on architecture in the early months.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
• Own the core product build: agentic recruiting workflows (sourcing → screening → outreach → scheduling)
• Build the orchestration layer: tool calling, structured outputs, evals, guardrails, and token cost control — the machinery that makes agents reliable enough to charge for
• Integrate channels and services: job boards, WhatsApp/Telegram, Lark, calendars; later, payroll rails (CPF, IRAS)
• Harden the platform: audit logging, encryption and masking of sensitive data, CI/CD, and testing discipline
• Partner with the CTO on architecture decisions, and grow into broader engineering ownership as the team scales
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
• You have shipped an LLM agent product to production for real users — not a demo, not a weekend project
• You can speak concretely about tool calling, context and prompt design, building eval sets, how your agents failed in production, how you fixed them, and how you controlled token costs
• Solid full-stack fundamentals: you can independently deliver a feature from schema design to UI (Node.js or Python on the backend; React or Vue 3 + TypeScript on the frontend)
• Fast, visible delivery: you can clearly describe what you shipped end to end in the past three months
• You move forward with incomplete requirements — asking the right questions and making reasonable assumptions rather than waiting for a full spec
• 1+ years of engineering experience. We deliberately weight agentic production depth over years of tenure: this field has no ten-year veterans, only people who have done it and people who haven't.
WHAT WE DON'T REQUIRE
• HR industry experience — the team brings 20 years of domain depth, and we will teach you
• A senior title or long tenure — we evaluate what you have actually built
NICE TO HAVE
• Experience with HR SaaS, payroll, tax/accounting, or ERP systems
• Cross-border or multi-country systems and configuration-driven design
• Experience integrating third-party APIs or fixed-format file specifications
• Ideas on applying models to data reconciliation and anomaly detection
TECH ENVIRONMENT
AWS (Singapore) · Claude / Anthropic API · Node.js / Python · Lark ecosystem. Stack choices are open for discussion.
TEAM & REPORTING
• You report directly to the founder
• Our CTO (former Ant Group technical lead) partners with you on architecture and is closely involved in the early months
