You will apply agentic and context engineering skills, implement REST/GraphQL integrations, and contribute to observability, CI/CD, and scalable deployment practices while collaborating with cross-functional

Qualifications

• 12+ years in software engineering with direct ownership of systems in production.
• Hands-on implementation experience across agent loops and tool calling, including state management and idempotent handling.
• Context engineering involving retrieval/search, memory, grounding in enterprise data, prompt assembly, and structured output.
• Testing and validation with automated tests and acceptance criteria.
• Cost and latency engineering, token accounting, caching, and model routing with fallback.
• Process re-engineering experience to automate workflows and replace manual processes.
• Experience integrating REST and GraphQL APIs, event-driven patterns, OAuth, and contract versioning.
• Observability: structured logging, tracing, metrics, CI/CD pipelines and containerized deployment.
• Ability to work independently from written specs and communicate progress clearly.
• Education: degree in CS or related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Responsibilities

• Will own production systems and drive automation initiatives.
• Design and implement agent loops, tool calling, and state management.
• Develop context engineering capabilities for enterprise data and prompts.
• Build automated tests and validation against acceptance criteria.
• Improve system observability, monitoring, and deployment pipelines.

Job description

• 12+ years in software engineering with direct ownership of systems in production
• Agentic systems you personally built and shipped into production, not prototypes, notebooks, or proofs of concept
• Strong programming proficiency in Python and at least one of TypeScript/JavaScript, Go, or an equivalent language, with demonstrable code quality practice covering testing, review, refactoring, and maintainability
• Hands-on implementation experience across:
• Agent loops and tool calling: loop control, sub-agent delegation, state management and checkpointing, and idempotent handling of consequential actions
• Context engineering: retrieval and search, memory, grounding in enterprise data, prompt assembly, and structured or schema-constrained output
• Testing and validation: automated tests for behavior that varies between runs, regression suites, and validation against defined acceptance criteria
• Cost and latency engineering: token accounting, prompt and response caching, model routing with fallback, and context compaction
• Process re‑engineering experience: analyzing an existing workflow and rebuilding it around what automation makes possible, rather than encoding current practice into software
• Experience replacing an existing manual or fragmented business process with software, working directly with the people who perform that process today
• Integration engineering: REST and GraphQL APIs, event-driven consumers, OAuth and scoped credential handling, schema and contract versioning, and resilient behavior under partial failure
• Observability and delivery engineering: structured logging, distributed tracing, and metrics for systems whose behavior varies between runs, plus CI/CD pipelines, automated quality gates, and containerized deployment
• Ability to work independently from written specification, deliver against committed timelines, and communicate progress and blockers without prompting
• Bachelors or master's degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
