Job summary

Worth AI is seeking a Senior Software Engineer - AI Innovation to design and ship production-grade agent systems for regulated financial data. You will own end-to-end lifecycle from architecting agent graphs to deploying against guardrails.

You will work with security, compliance, and legal to maintain SOC 2 / GDPR / CCPA posture, and mentor engineers while advancing production MLOps and eval discipline in a fast-paced, ownership-driven environment.

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.
• Mentoring junior engineers and raising team quality standards.
• Experience with event‑driven systems: enrichment, retries, dead‑lettering, backpressure.
• Experience managing containerized applications in Kubernetes, EKS, ArgoCD, operators, Kustomize.
• Hands‑on experience with at least one modern agent framework (LangGraph strongly preferred).
• Track record of shipping agents that run, fail gracefully, and recover.
• Experience with evals: golden sets, offline/online evaluations, and ship/no‑ship decisions.
• Production MLOps fluency: deploying LLM workloads with latency, cost and reliability constraints; instrument what you ship.
• Strong proficiency in Python; comfortable with TypeScript/Node.js for integration.

Responsibilities

• Design and ship multi-step agentic systems that automate KYB, underwriting, case review, and risk monitoring workflows.
• Architect agent graphs in LangGraph (or comparable frameworks) 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 citations across diverse data sources.
• Own the eval stack: golden sets, offline regression suites, LLM‑as‑judge, online A/B and shadow evals, and red‑teaming for jailbreaks and PII leakage.
• Wire agents into Worth’s production systems via well‑typed tools, MCP servers, and existing services; treat tool surface area as a product.
• Drive production MLOps for agents: deployment, versioning, traffic shaping, cost/latency budgets, observability, and on‑call playbooks.
• Partner with security, compliance, and legal to keep agents within SOC 2, GDPR, CCPA, and fair‑lending posture.
• Translate ambiguous product bets into concrete agent designs, prototypes, and shipped features.
• Mentor engineers on agent patterns, prompt hygiene, eval discipline, and failure modes of LLMs.
• Stay ahead of frontier models and patterns and bring back what works in production.
