Team

AI Platform / EngineeringAbout the Role

We are looking for aSenior AI & Agentic System Engineerto design and build production-grade AI agents that can reason, use tools, interact with APIs, and execute complex multi-step workflows.

You’ll work at the intersection ofLLM engineering, agent architecture, backend systems, and cloud infrastructure, with significant ownership over architecture, reliability, evaluation, and scalability.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

Design and build autonomous AI agents capable of tool use, web/API interaction, memory, and multi-step task execution.

Architect agentic workflows includingplanner/executor/verifier, multi-agent, HITL, retry, and failure-recovery patterns.

Integrate LLM providers such asOpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini, including structured outputs, function calling, context management, and prompt optimization.

BuildRAG and knowledge pipelinesusing embeddings, vector databases, hybrid search, reranking, and agent memory.

Develop scalable backend services usingPython and/or Node.js/TypeScript, REST/GraphQL APIs, async processing, and background jobs.

Design reliable distributed systems with appropriate patterns for state persistence, caching, idempotency, event-driven workflows, and fault tolerance.

Build observability and evaluation frameworks for AI systems, including tracing, behavioral regression testing, latency, quality, and token-cost monitoring.

Own CI/CD and cloud deployments across development, staging, and production environments.

Evaluate emerging technologies such asMCP, A2A, reasoning models, and agent frameworksand recommend practical adoption.

Required Skills

5+ years of software/backend engineering experience with strong system-design expertise.

Hands-on experience buildingproduction AI agents, beyond basic chatbot implementations.

Strong experience with at least one major LLM provider SDK:OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini.

Strong understanding ofprompt engineering, tool/function calling, structured outputs, context management, and token optimization.

Experience with agent frameworks/patterns such asLangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, ReAct, or plan-and-execute.

StrongPython and/or Node.js/TypeScriptdevelopment skills.

Experience withRAG, embeddings, vector databases, hybrid retrieval, and reranking.

Strong knowledge ofREST/GraphQL APIs, asynchronous processing, databases, and distributed systems.

Hands-on AWS experience, particularlyLambda, ECS/Fargate, API Gateway, S3, SQS, SNS/EventBridge, IAM, and CloudWatch.

Experience withDocker, GitHub Actions, and Terraform.

Understanding of AI security, includingprompt injection, guardrails, output validation, and safe tool execution.

AI/LLMOps & Evaluation
