About the Role

The role combines strong technical skills with a hands‑on, practical approach. You'll move fast from prototype to production and work closely with cross‑functional teams to deliver measurable impact.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and build internal AI agents that automate recurring business workflows using LLMs, custom tools, and orchestration frameworks. (Core task)
• Translate business processes into agent flows by partnering with operations, support, finance, HR, and other teams to understand current workflows, edge cases, and success criteria.
• Ensure reliability and guardrails by adding validation, error handling, fallbacks, and human‑in‑the‑loop escalation for ambiguous or high‑risk actions.
• Evaluate AI agents’ performance (latency, cost, task success, hallucination rate) and optimize prompts, tool selection, and agent architecture.
• Set up monitoring and observability for agents in production to capture conversations, tool calls, failure modes, and user ratings to drive continuous improvement.
• Develop and integrate new AI features and pipelines into our product portfolio, working directly with business units as needed. (Secondary task)
• Stay up to date with the latest tools, frameworks, and best practices in applied AI.

Requirements

• 2–4 years of experience in Software Engineering or AI Applications Engineering.
• Strong Python skills and experience with LLMs, RAG, tool‑use, and AI agent frameworks (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Cohere, etc.).
• Proficiency in Python backend development and familiarity with modern frameworks.
• Good JavaScript or TypeScript skills for frontend development and integration.
• Strong prompt and context engineering skills, with solid theoretical understanding of LLMs.
• Proven experience turning software or AI prototypes into production‑ready solutions.
• Practical mindset — able to balance speed, quality, and scalability in execution.
