Senior Software Engineer - AI-Powered Agent Systems

Kraken; Colombia; On-site; COP 120,000,000 - 240,000,000; Full time

Job summary

Kraken is building the Agent Systems team to create AI-powered agents that automate internal workflows and decision paths across internal tools. You will prototype quickly and then productionize, design inference pipelines, and architect backend services that integrate with multiple internal APIs and data sources.

You will collaborate across product, infrastructure, and internal operations to improve speed, reliability, and observability as the system scales, contributing to a foundational agent

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.
