Job summary

Worth AI, a leader in AI onboarding and underwriting, seeks a Senior Software Engineer - AI Innovation to design and ship production agent systems that perform high‑stakes decisions on regulated data. You’ll own end‑to‑end lifecycle, architect agent graphs, and integrate with our existing services while maintaining strict compliance guardrails.

You’ll collaborate with the Chief AI Officer, applied scientists, product, and platform teams to turn agentic patterns into customer outcomes.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 2 years building production LLM or agentic systems.
• Solid software engineering experience - front‑end, APIs, async patterns, queues, databases, and the failure modes of distributed systems.
• Demonstrated ownership of major features or subsystems in production.
• Demonstrated experience mentoring junior engineers and raising team quality standards.
• Demonstrated experience with event‑driven systems: enrichment, retries, dead‑lettering, backpressure.
• Experience managing containerized applications in Kubernetes, EKS, ArgoCD, operators, Kustomize.
• Deep, hands‑on experience with at least one modern agent framework (LangGraph strongly preferred).
• Real experience with evals you’ve built golden sets, run offline and online evaluations, and used them to make ship/no‑ship calls.
• Production MLOps fluency: deployed LLM workloads under real latency, cost, and reliability constraints, and you instrument what you ship.
• Strong proficiency in Python; comfortable in TypeScript / Node.js for integrating with Worth’s services.
• Clear, calibrated communicator - able to explain agent trade‑offs to product, security, and customers without hand‑wav­ing.
• Operates with extreme ownership in ambiguous, fast‑moving environments.

Responsibilities

• Design and ship multi‑step agentic systems (planner/executor, tool‑using, multi‑agent, human‑in‑the‑loop) that automate KYB, underwriting, case review, and risk monitoring workflows.
• Architect agent graphs in LangGraph (or comparable frameworks CrewAI, AutoGen, Claude Agent SDK) with explicit state, durable execution, retries, and safe fallbacks.
• Build and harden the retrieval layer powering our agents chunking strategies, hybrid search, reranking, and grounded citation across SoS filings, IRS records, bank data, and Worth’s 700M+ SMB graph.
• Own the eval stack: golden sets, offline regression suites, LLM‑as‑judge, online A/B and shadow evals, and red‑teaming for jailbreaks, prompt injection, and PII leakage.
• Wire agents into Worth’s production systems via well‑typed tools, MCP servers, and existing services (decisioning engine, case management, crosswalking). Treat tool surface area as a product.
• Drive production MLOps for agents: deployment, versioning, traffic shaping, cost/latency budgets, observability (traces, token spend, tool call success), and on‑call playbooks for agent incidents.
• Partner with security, compliance, and legal to keep agents inside Worth’s SOC 2, GDPR, CCPA, and fair‑lending posture — building from day one, not bolted on.
• Translate ambiguous product bets (“what if the underwriter had an AI co‑pilot for this?”) into concrete agent designs, prototypes, and shipped features.
• Mentor engineers across the org on agent patterns, prompt engineering hygiene, eval discipline, and the failure modes of LLM systems.
• Stay ahead of the frontier new models, frameworks, and patterns — and bring back what actually works in production.
