Perplexity is hiring a Tech Lead Manager for its Agents engineering team, which combines AI/ML, backend and full-stack engineers. The role leads and grows that team, guiding work on AI agents, action and decision models, cross-environment experiences, permission systems and data representations. It asks for AI product stack familiarity, Python (TypeScript, Go or Rust a bonus), expertise in context engineering, post-training/reinforcement learning or browser technologies, product intuition, and engineering management. The posting requires 8+ years in engineering, including 3+ as a manager, and says the role interfaces with Perplexity's co-founders.
