the posting
.txt builds structured generation: we make language models produce output that follows a given format, by deciding at every decoding step which tokens are allowed. We compile a JSON Schema, a regex, a grammar, a list of function definitions or a policy into that decision, fast enough to run inside the decoding loop. This is how .txt builds reliable and safe agents. We're looking for a developer to work on the parsers and compilers at the center of it.
Responsibilities
Design and Develop : Craft high-performance parsers and data structures that integrate with LLMs.
Problem Solving : Research advanced parser and compiler technology and symbolic methods.
Writing Quality Code : Ensure the reliability and efficiency of our methods through rigorous testing and optimization.
Stay Ahead: Learn the latest, relevant LLM advancements.
Qualifications
You know Python at a professional level and have practical experience with "lower-level" languages (e.g. C/C++, Rust)
You have worked directly with parsers (e.g. Earley, LALR(1)), formal grammars, finite-state machines, and implemented efficient data structures. You are also capable of doing research and development in those areas.
You are familiar with our relevant technical report and open-source project .
You value simplicity, testing, and automation, and you can demonstrate this.
You communicate clearly, concisely, and consistently in written form.
Why you should join us:
- 🧭 The problem matters
- Every agent that takes real actions needs a layer that guarantees it can only do what it was asked. The parser and compiler work in this role is what enables this guarantee.
- 🌐 Remote first
- Work from anywhere in the world. We communicate mostly in writing and favor occasional organic discussions over recurring large team meetings.
- 💸 Competitive compensation and benefits
- Market-rate salary plus stock options, health and dental insurance, and a 401(k) for US employees. We'll also get you a GPU if you don't have one.
Location
.txt is a fully remote company with the majority of the team in the US and EU.
