Job description
The Opportunity: As an Agentic AI Engineer, you will design, build, and deploy AI agents capable of autonomously using tools, interacting with software systems, and executing multi-step tasks. You will develop agent architectures, including decision-making logic, memory systems, and orchestration flows that enable AI agents to perform complex operations reliably and safely. You will integrate new and existing tools, define structured interfaces for agent interactions, and implement evaluation and monitoring approaches to ensure agent behavior remains predictable and aligned with mission needs. You’ll collaborate across engineering teams to deliver scalable and production-ready agentic systems that enhance capabilities across distributed environments.
