Pencil uses AI to make ads. Our mission is to make marketing effective and effortless. We want to become the default way ads get made — because AI ads are 10x faster and cheaper to make, and 2x better performing, than making them without AI. Pencil was founded in 2018 with a team from Google, Facebook and Uber with backing from Sequoia and Entrepreneur First. We were acquired by The Brandtech Group in 2023 to pursue a shared vision of bringing GenAI to the Fortune 500.

Agent Architect
Pencil
Role Description We are looking for an Agent Architect who thinks in systems, not just sentences. You will be responsible for the "brain" of Pencil—designing the agent logic, tool-calling structures, and evaluation loops that power our core creative engine and bespoke client solutions. The Role: Architecting the Creative Brain - You won’t just be "prompting"; you will be engineering behavior. - You will bridge the gap between creative intent and machine execution, ensuring that our agents are robust, predictable, and capable of high-fidelity output across text, image, and video. Your work will fall into two high-impact pillars: - Core Systems: Designing and scaling the foundational agents that power the Pencil SaaS platform. - Client Solutions: Architecting custom workflows for world-class brands that require specific "brand DNA" and complex creative logic. Job Responsibilities - Agent Architecture: Design and implement multi-agent workflows, including task decomposition, state management, and tool-use (RAG, API integration, etc.). - Systematic Optimization: Move beyond "vibe-based" testing. Implement rigorous evaluation frameworks (e.g., using LLM-as-a-judge, promptfoo, or DSPy) to measure and improve agent performance at scale. - Scalable Frameworks: Develop reusable agents and prompt libraries that allow the platform to serve 1,000+ brands with unique voices simultaneously. - Cross-Functional Engineering: Partner with AI Engineering and Product teams to determine which behaviors should be handled via prompting, RAG, or fine-tuning. - Client Architecture: Act as the technical lead for complex client deployments, translating high-level creative briefs into deterministic AI workflows. Qualifications - 3+ Years of Direct GenAI Experience: You have a deep, intuitive, and technical understanding of LLMs (GPT-4, Claude, Gemini) and multimodal models (Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, Video Gen). - Systems Thinking: You don’t just write a prompt; you think about the latent space, the context window, and how one agent's output becomes another’s input. - Technical Literacy: While this isn't a "Software Engineer" role, you should be comfortable with Python, JSON structures, and API documentation. Experience with orchestration frameworks (LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen) is a major plus. - Evaluation Obsession: You believe that if you can’t measure a prompt’s performance, you shouldn’t ship it. You are familiar with benchmarking and A/B testing AI outputs. - The "Creative/Technical" Bridge: You can sit in a room with a Creative Director and translate "make it feel more punchy" into a temperature adjustment and a few-shot prompting strategy. KPI & Success Measures - System Reliability: Reducing the "failure rate" of complex agent workflows. - Architectural Efficiency: Minimizing token usage/latency while increasing output quality. - Brand Alignment: Scoring of agent outputs against specific brand guidelines using automated evaluation tools. - Scale: Successful rollout of core agents used by the entire Pencil user base. Benefits - 25 days PTO plus public holidays, although we operate a Flexible Time Off scheme. - Health insurance / private medical cover. - Monthly stipend towards wellness, fitness, and learning and development. - Remote - work from anywhere in your home country. - Enhanced parental leave policies, whether you become a parent through birth, adoption or surrogacy. - Access to our Pencil office in The Shard, London for our UK employees. - Flexible working hours.
