Careers at KnackLabs

Build the agents the
industry actually runs on.

We’re an AI-native firm that ships production agents inside real enterprises, not slideware. We embed engineers who map the work, prototype in week one, and stay to own the outcome.

What we believe

Four convictions we hire and fire on

These aren’t poster values. They’re how we decide what to build, who to bring on, and what “good” looks like on a Friday.

01
Value over efficiency

We optimize for what agents make possible that wasn’t before, new capability, not headcount math. Cost savings are a side effect we never lead with.

02
Technical depth over surface fluency

We build the infrastructure the industry depends on, not wrappers around APIs. Our engineers contribute to the open-source frameworks others build on.

03
Delivery is the product

You’re measured by what shipped and the value it created, not what was proposed, scoped, or slotted into a roadmap.

04
Accountability over autonomy

We don’t hand a client a tool and walk away. We embed, supervise, and own the outcome alongside them, and so will you.

How we work

Three teams, one bar for shipping

Every role at KnackLabs sits on one of three teams. Different work, same standard: build things that ship and create real value.

FDE3 open
Forward Deployed Engineering
Embedded with the client

Small teams (a product manager and implementation engineers) who sit with a client, map how the work actually runs, and ship working agents from a week-one prototype all the way to production. The most end-to-end seat we have.

Hyderabad · builds the platform

Our core engineering team in Hyderabad. They build Gantry (our agent harness), domain agents, and automation systems: the infrastructure every Forward Deployed Team runs on, and the open-source frameworks the wider industry builds on.

How hiring works

Fast, real, and respectful of your time

Four steps, about two weeks end to end. You’ll always talk to the people you’d actually work with.

  1. 1Apply. A short note and your work: GitHub, shipped projects, anything real. We read every one; no keyword filter, no SDR queue.
  2. 2Talk to an engineer. A 45-minute conversation about how you think and what you’ve actually built. From someone you’d work alongside, not a recruiter.
  3. 3Build something small. A paid, time-boxed problem close to the real work: mapping a messy workflow, shipping a tight prototype. We look at how you reason and what you ship.
  4. 4Meet the team & decide. You meet the people you’d be embedded with. A clear yes or no within a week. We owe you a fast, honest answer.

Come build what didn’t exist before.

Send us your work and the kind of problem you want to own. We read every note, and reply from an engineer, not a queue.
