Senior AI Systems Engineer — Internal Automation

Kraken; Argentina; On-site; ARS 136,254,000 - 227,090,000; Full time

Job summary

Kraken is seeking a senior backend/AI engineer to join our Agent Systems team. You will build AI-powered agent capabilities that automate internal workflows and reason over system interactions, blending backend engineering with AI/ML insights.

You’ll prototype rapidly, move valuable results to production, and partner with product, infra, and internal operations to scale reliable, observable automation.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience building and shipping production software systems.
• Strong backend engineering fundamentals (APIs, distributed systems, data modeling, reliability).
• Experience building fullstack systems, with comfort working across backend and occasional frontend surfaces.
• Hands-on experience working with AI/ML systems, LLMs, or inference pipelines in production.
• Ability to prototype rapidly while maintaining a clear path to production-grade architecture.
• Strong systems thinking — able to reason about orchestration, failure modes, and observability.
• Comfort operating in ambiguous, 0->1 environments with high ownership.

Responsibilities

• Build and ship AI-powered agent systems that automate internal workflows and decision paths.
• Design and implement inference pipelines that reason over user interactions across internal systems.
• Prototype quickly to validate agent behaviors, then productionize what proves valuable.
• Architect backend services that integrate with multiple internal APIs and data sources.
• Define patterns for safe, observable, and controllable agent execution.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to identify high-leverage automation opportunities.
• Improve system speed, reliability, and signal quality as usage scales.
• Contribute to foundational design decisions for a 0->1 agent platform.
