Founding Principal Engineer - Agent Orchestration

At WYLE, we are building an AI that runs the parts of your life you should not have to think about, so you get your time and attention back. Not another app. A Personal Operating System for people whose lives are too full to manage by hand.It has to work reliably in one real person's life, over years, in the actual mess of a real day. That is a hard engineering problem before it is anything else.This role owns one part of it: how the agent plans and acts reliably in the real world, and stays correct where correctness is not optional. You own that work, end to end.You are a fit only if:You have built autonomous agents that execute real actions in production, not chat demos. You can point to one and explain what it did and how it held up.You know when to make a system deterministic instead of trusting a model's judgment, especially where money or safety is involved.You have real distributed-systems instincts: async, queues, retries, idempotency, failure isolation, reversibility. One bad step never takes down the whole thing.You build agent behavior against evals, not vibes.Bonus: planning and consequence-modeling, and experience making agents fast enough to feel instant.How we workEngineering is horizontal on purpose. You work directly with the founder, everyone owns something real, and there are no layers between you and the decisions. This is for someone who has built inside a startup before and wants that again as an owner, not an employee.If you are a Head of Engineering, Director, Head of AI, Principal or Staff Engineer and what you miss is your hands on the keyboard owning what you build, this is for you. If you want another management seat, this is not.The honest partThis is a founding role, equity-led with a partial salary for the founding team that steps up as our funding closes and moves to full market salary at the raise. We are direct about the full structure early, not after your time is spent. If you want a salary-first role with a big team around you, that is fair, and this is not it.Dubai-based, or ready to relocate quickly. We provide the visa and support the move.To apply: We read every application by hand, and this role is built so an auto-apply agent cannot do it well. Do not use LinkedIn Easy Apply. Email ceo@wyle.ai, tell us Agent Orchestration is your domain, and point us at something you built that proves it: code, a system you shipped, an open-source project. Open with the hardest reliability or correctness failure you have owned in production and how you found it. Applications that open with a resume summary or a generic pitch, we pass on. We would rather see the work.
