Job description

We are:

We are: A forward-thinking services company at the forefront of AI-native innovation. We partner with enterprise clients to create next-generation, agent-powered workflows engineered to scale in real-world settings. Our engineers embed deeply with customers, moving projects beyond experimentation into operational reality.

You are:

You are: An AI Native Engineer with a minimum of 5 years of experience building cloud-native solutions, and deep expertise in designing and deploying agentic systems, especially for enterprise environments. You are a critical thinker that thrives in ambiguity, delivering concrete results by designing, building, and running custom AI agents that augment workflows and scale across modern infrastructure. You’ll help shape the playbook for how enterprises adopt and scale AI-native engineering globally.

The Work:

The Work: You’ll embed directly with clients — acting as both technologist and trusted advisor. You’ll partner with stakeholders to define use cases, rapidly prototype, and deploy agentic workflows that are robust, secure, and operational in complex enterprise domains. Often, these will be completely net new platforms and systems that need to be stitched together in our clients' environments alongside our Ecosystem partners.

Responsibilities:

Agent Architecture and Engineering: Design and engineer enterprise-ready AI agents encompassing retrieval, orchestration, policy-based routing, tool invocation, evaluation harnesses, and lifecycle observability.

AI Platform Integration: Develop abstraction layers across AI providers (Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, etc. ) to enable seamless integration and enablement.

Cloud-Native Engineering: Leverage containerization (Kubernetes, Docker), microservices, serverless, event-driven architectures, CI/CD, and observability to deliver scalable AI-native systems.

Domain-Specific Workflows: Tailor and deploy agentic applications across verticals — e.g., finance, healthcare, retail — addressing domain-specific processes via intelligent automation.

Client Engagement: Conduct design workshops, POCs, and code-with sessions to shape data-driven agent workflows with stakeholders, fostering trust and adoption.

Measure & Improve: Define and use key metrics, test harnesses, and evaluation plans to measure agent accuracy, latency, safety, and cost effectiveness.

Knowledge Sharing: Craft reusable patterns, documentation, and best practices to influence internal assets and client roadmaps.

Travel may be required for this role. The amount of travel will vary from 0 to 100% depending on business need and client requirements.

Assess the organization and processes of a company’s software engineering capability to identify productivity and quality gaps and opportunities. Assist in establishing modern engineering operating models and processes. Advise and coach on software engineering best practices and tools to improve time-to-market, quality and efficiency. Work with organizations to prototype the applicability of innovative software engineering practices, such as Gen-AI assisted software development and green software engineering, to create differentiated and innovative solutions. Benchmark and evaluate the outcomes of prototypes, new processes, tools and ways of working.
