Position Summary

TCWGlobal is a people-first workforce solutions company known for combining operational excellence with a highly human workplace culture. Our San Diego campus, onsite amenities, charitable gift matching, volunteer time, and commitment to growth reflect the belief that great work should also be meaningful work.

Cloud Motion Technologies (CMT) is TCWGlobal's technology engine. CMT builds AI-native products, intelligent workflows, data systems, and automation layers that help redefine how modern workforce operations are delivered. Together, TCWGlobal and CMT are entering a Digital Metamorphosis: reimagining products, workflows, decisions, and human-machine collaboration through responsible AI, strong governance, and measurable business impact.

The Graph/API Agentic Engineer owns the connective tissue of our AI-native technology stack. This role is responsible for the lifecycle, reliability, security, documentation, and business value of the APIs, integrations, and inline tools that power our products.

This is a hands-on platform operations role for someone who sees APIs not as plumbing, but as leverage. You will help TCWGlobal and CMT move faster by making integrations easier to adopt, safer to operate, clearer to govern, and easier to retire when they no longer serve the mission.
