About The Position

Terzo is building the AI platform layer that sits between structured enterprise intelligence and the people who act on it. The Financial Intelligence Graph gives our customers visibility into contracts, vendors, spend, obligations, and risk. The Agent Platform is how that intelligence becomes autonomous by powering AI agents, workflows, recommendations, and search experiences that move enterprise teams from insight to action without waiting on a human in the loop. As a Sr/Staff Engineer on the Agent Platform team, you will design and build the core infrastructure that makes this possible. You will own the platform APIs, orchestration layers, and runtime systems that power Terzo's AI agents, NirvanAI search, and the marketplace where customers deploy autonomous intelligence against their most critical commercial data. The services you build will be the substrate every AI-powered experience at Terzo runs on.
