# AI Agent Designer - Company: [Palup]() - Location: United States - Team: Product - Employment type: Full Time - Posted: May 6, 2026 ## Job description **About the Role** PalUp is building an AI sales agent for merchants. Most agent work gets judged on how a demo feels — ours doesn't. There's no agent framework here waiting for you to fill in. You'll run it end to end yourself: watching how real shoppers behave, research, prompt design, implementation, and verification. **What You'll Do Every Day** 1. **Build the agent's core capabilities end to end.** From understanding what merchants and shoppers actually need, through design and implementation, to verifying the result once it's live. 2. **Ship fast with Claude Code.** You'll lean heavily on Claude Code to turn complex agent logic into working product in hours. 3. **Refine the experience from several angles.** The merchant's, the shopper's, and the commercial outcomes. The same design decision often has three different right answers depending on which one you're looking through. 4. **Make the agent measurably better over time.** Iterate against what the control group actually shows, not against how it feels. **Who We're Looking For** 1. **Claude Code is how you build.** Not an occasional assist — it's your default way of turning an idea into working software. 2. **You've built or improved an AI agent in practice** — a sales agent, a customer success agent, or any autonomous agent. You're fluent in one or more of: prompt engineering, RAG, agent architecture, tool use, multi-agent orchestration. 3. **You have a track record of getting things done.** It doesn't have to be code — it might be a business you got off the ground, a community you grew to real activity, or a system you designed that made something run smoothly. What matters is evidence that you find a way when there's no playbook. 4. **You communicate clearly.** Designing an agent is thinking in language: if your instructions are vague, so is the agent. 5. **You're very curious.** When something an Agent does doesn't make sense, you keep digging and testing until you understand it — because you want it to be better. 6. **You want real ownership.** You want to build this agent as your own product, not execute someone else's spec. ## Apply [Apply on Palup]() Canonical job page:
