Job summary

Mutual of Omaha Mortgage is seeking a Software Engineer focused on AI systems in a hybrid role based in Irvine, CA. You will design, build, and maintain AI-driven services and agentic workflows, with experience in Anthropic SDK/API, Python, and full-stack development.

You will collaborate across teams to craft reliable AI-backed applications, develop RESTful APIs and front ends, own DevOps for AI services, and contribute to testing and documentation.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, related field, or equivalent experience.
• 2+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• 2+ years of experience working with Python and Flask or Django.
• Must-have: Hands on experience with Anthropic SDK/API and Claude Console.
• Proficiency with Git.
• Strong experience with RESTful API development.
• Hands-on experience with SQL and relational databases (e.g., MySQL, MSSQL, Postgres).
• Comfortable building and debugging agentic loops (tool-call cycles, multi-turn agents, error recovery, self-verification patterns).
• Judgment to scope an AI solution appropriately - knows when multi-agent orchestration is overkill versus warranted.
• Some DevOps exposure: Docker, CI/CD, cloud platforms like AWS or Azure.
• Familiarity with testing libraries (pytest, jest); LLM eval framework experience a plus.
• Strong debugging skills for complex, partially non-deterministic systems.
• Excellent communication skills:abilityto explain AI behavior, limits, and tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders.
• Stays current with the broader AI landscape - local/open-source models, emerging tooling, and alternatives to hosted APIs - and can speak to tradeoffs between running a model locally versus calling a hosted API.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, deploy web applications, AI-driven services and agentic pipelines (tool-use loops, multi-step agents, orchestration)
• Build and maintain integrations with Anthropic API/SDK (Claude models, tool use, prompt caching, streaming)
• Write, iterate, and evaluate prompts for reliability, safety, and cost efficiency
• Develop RESTful APIs (Python) and React/TypeScript front ends around AI features
• Own DevOps for AI services: CI/CD, containerization (Docker), cloud deploy (AWS/Azure), monitoring/observability for agent runs
• Write optimized SQL against relational DBs
• Design automated test frameworks for both deterministic code and non-deterministic AI outputs (eval harnesses, regression suites)
• Collaborate cross-functional with teams and translate business needs into AI-backed technical solutions
• Maintain technical docs(architecture, prompt design decisions, agent behavior/limits)
