Job summary

OpenHands seeks an Enterprise Agent Engineer to build and evolve the automation server and the control plane for agentic automations. You will design end-to-end workflows, ensure reliability, and collaborate with Product and Enterprise teams to turn ideas into durable product capabilities.

You will contribute to reference agents and automations, instrument performance, and drive outcomes that save engineers time. This fully remote role offers flexible hours and a competitive package.

Qualifications

• 5+ years as a software engineer building production systems
• 1+ years of hands-on experience building AI agents or agentic automations
• Experience building backend or platform services: APIs, long-running systems, and the data and observability layers around them
• Strong proficiency in Python and modern developer workflows (CI/CD, Git-based collaboration, developer tooling)
• Fluency with the agentic toolkit: LLMs, prompt and context design, tool/API integration, MCP, evaluation, and workflow orchestration
• An outcomes-driven mindset; you measure whether agents actually save engineers time, and iterate relentlessly until they do
• Bonus: experience with auditing, observability, or governance/control-plane systems; AI developer tools (OpenHands, Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor); or significant open-source contribution

Responsibilities

• Build and evolve the automation server, the system that runs agentic automations reliably and at scale
• Build the control plane around it: auditing, visibility, observability, and governance so enterprises can see and trust what their agents are doing
• Build reference agents and automations including high-quality, reusable examples (code review, CVE remediation, Issue-to-PR, test generation, broader SDLC workflows) that establish best practices and seed adoption
• Design agent workflows end to end: tool and API integration (MCP, skills, plugins), context and memory management, and multi-step orchestration with human-in-the-loop where it matters
• Instrument and evaluate agents by measuring reliability, cost, latency, and outcomes and harden them into something teams can depend on
• Work across Product, the Enterprise team, and Forward-Deployed Engineering to turn what works into durable product capabilities
