You’ll drive guardrails, observability, and security while mentoring others in agent-building practices and AI-enabled product culture.

Qualifications

  • Strong production engineering experience across the AI agent lifecycle.
  • Hands-on experience deploying multi-agent systems in production, including orchestration, tool integration, context management, and memory.
  • Experience integrating AI agents with platforms and tools such as Slack, Atlassian products, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
  • Demonstrated ability to instrument and evaluate non‑deterministic systems through evaluations, observability, regression testing, and cost tracking.
  • Sound architectural judgment across reliability, security, and cost optimization, including the ability to select appropriate models for different use cases.
  • Confidence in forming, communicating, and defending technical recommendations.
  • Experience building reusable components, internal tools, or technical capabilities that other teams or users adopt.
  • Strong product understanding and the ability to translate Product Managers’ workflows and needs into practical technical solutions.
  • Collaborative mindset, with an interest in sharing knowledge and helping teams adapt to new ways of working.
  • Builder mentality, taking ownership of delivered solutions and remaining comfortable with ambiguity and evolving priorities.
  • Regular, thoughtful use of AI‑assisted development tools, with the ability to assess their strengths and limitations critically.
  • Nice to have: Product management experience or experience working on B2B SaaS, HR, or IT products.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and deploy the first production AI agents in collaboration with Product Managers, beginning with product brief creation and the handoff from product management to design.
  • Expand agent capabilities across the broader product lifecycle, from initial customer insights and planning through delivery and measurement.
  • Define and develop shared architecture, technical standards, and reusable components for orchestration, skills, memory, evaluations, and guardrails across product lines.
  • Establish production-quality practices covering observability, testing, security, reliability, and cost management, with human approval at critical decision points.
  • Collaborate closely with Product Managers to understand existing workflows, identify automation opportunities, and deliver small, iterative solutions that users can test and adopt.
  • Measure the effectiveness of AI agents through indicators such as time saved, speed from customer feedback to product decisions, and cost per agent or feature.
  • Evaluate solutions continuously, prioritizing meaningful improvements and discontinuing initiatives that do not deliver measurable value.
  • Share agent development practices, tools, and technical knowledge to help colleagues independently build, operate, and improve AI agents.
  • Partner with AI engineering and data specialists to align architecture, share reusable patterns, and strengthen the organization’s AI development capabilities.
