Job description

This role asks for a software engineer who builds internal AI tools and gets colleagues to actually use them. A strong candidate ships backend services and interfaces quickly, has built agent or LLM tools that real people relied on, and can turn a messy workflow into something scoped and useful. Clear writing and comfort working with non engineers matter as much as the code.

How it fits the AI era

The job exists because AI is changing how software gets written and how other teams get work done, so the role is about making that shift real inside one company. Judgement about when to build, buy, or use a plain script stays human, as does earning trust and driving adoption. The work is measured by whether tools are used and trusted, not just shipped.

How it builds AI experience

A candidate would gain hands on practice building agent infrastructure, model integrations, and shared context for a company deploying industrial robots in warehouses. That means learning how to make agents reliable in a real codebase and how to evaluate and roll out tools safely. Experience with permissions, secrets, and measuring adoption would grow here.

Worth showing

• Shipped agentic or LLM tools
• Python or TypeScript backend
• Internal tools and automation
• Driving tool adoption
