CoPlane (https://coplane.com/) | Product Engineer | NYC (preferred) or Remote (North America) | Full Time

The world doesn't need another ERP. CoPlane is building the Agentic Orchestration platform that enables enterprises to orchestrate intelligent processes across their existing systems. Founded by ex-Stripe/Segment product and tech leads, we're changing how businesses operate their backoffice - helping them scale intelligence not headcount.

We're looking for an exceptional product engineer to grow our small team of engineers that include ex-founders, open source contributors (authors of neovim and neverthrow), and architects of petabyte-scale data platforms.

We are looking for someone that wants to own product features end to end (Python + Typescript/React) but is particularly spiky on frontend and UI. You'll build a platform for billion-dollar enterprises solving their hardest, most mission-critical automation problems.

If you're excited about working at the nexus of data, automation and AI, and want to make a significant impact in an early, well-capitalized startup with large enterprise design partners, we'd love to hear from you.

Roles: Product Engineer.

This is awesome - the snapshotting especially is critical for long running agents. Since we run agents in a durable execution harness (similar to Temporal / DBOS) we needed a sandboxing approach that would snapshot the state after every execution in order to be able to restore and replay on any failure.

We ended up creating localsandbox [0] with that in mind by using AgentFS for filesystem snapshotting, but our solution is meant for a different use case than Freestyle - simpler FS + code execution for agents all done locally. Since we're not running a full OS it's much less capable but also simpler for lots of use cases where we want the agent execution to happen locally.

The ability to fork is really interesting - the main use case I could imagine is for conversations that the user forks or parallel sub-agents. Have you seen other use cases?

Sharing our version of this built on just-bash, AgentFS, and Pyodide: https://github.com/coplane/localsandbox

One nice thing about using AgentFS as the VFS is that it's backed by sqlite so it's very portable - making it easy to fork and resume agent workflows across machines / time.

I really like Amla Sandbox addition of injecting tool calls into the sandbox, which lets the agent generated code interact with the harness provided tools. Very interesting!

We worked on py2wasm to fulfill our own needs first, as we want to accelerate Python execution to the maximum, so we can move our Python Django backend from Google Cloud into Wasmer Edge.

I was under the impression that Django was stateful and not meant to be run in a serverless/edge cloud. Is that not the case or are you planning to do a special setup to support that?

There's a clear philosophical difference between a framework like NextJS and Rails/Django/Laravel. The former takes the approach of expecting users to integrate various third party libraries (ie. Prisma, PassportJS, ReactAdmin, etc) while the latter has it a lot of features built in as framework primitives and defaults.

Some of those features: * ORM and DB migrations * Auth * Admin interface * Form handling and validation * Email sending * Background jobs

Which is why you end up needing so many different SaaS templates for Nextjs that tie all these different libraries together into a pre-built package.

Given we know different prompts perform better on different tasks (via evals, papers, etc), you can think of multiple agents interacting (especially when there's a specialized "router" or orchestrator) as sub problems of a larger task being solved by "agents" specialized for that task - prompts + context crafted for that sub-problem.

Two years ago I became really interested in optimizing testosterone levels naturally and one of the things that kept coming up in research was the impact of EDCs (Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals) on fertility, cancer, hormone health and testosterone and just how prevalent they are in all our products (clothes use PFAS as water repellent / stain resistance, soaps and creams use parabens as preservatives, anything that has a scent typically uses pthalates for the smell to last longer, etc) .

My girlfriend, who has a background in environmental science and skincare, also got interested in this and ended up starting a personal care brand focused on being 100% free of Endocrine Disruptors / forever chemicals: https://olivercare.co/.

I truly believe as more studies continue to come out strengthening the connection between these chemicals and the long term health and fertility risks, consumers and brands are going to shift to safer alternatives. In fact, there's a chance that "forever chemical" lawsuits end up being bigger than the famous Big Tobacco settlement: https://time.com/6292482/legal-liability-pfas-chemicals-laws... .

Although I'm optimistic about this, a line popped out in the blog post stuck out to me: "deliberately training misaligned models".

I'm guessing they mean misaligned small or weak models, and misaligned in a non-dangerous way - but the idea of training models whose goal is adversarial brings to mind the idea of gain-of-function research.
