Zusammenfassung

XPENG is hiring a senior engineer to build our internal AI engineering platform, delivering robust distributed systems and reliable services. You will automate workflows, design the agentic layer, and ensure safe execution across internal and external systems.

You will collaborate with customers to gather requirements, drive adoption, and shape the product roadmap, balancing performance with safety and governance. This role offers growth in autonomous mobility tech.

Qualifikationen

• Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related fields.
• 5+ years building and operating production distributed systems with strong system design and software engineering fundamentals.
• Proficiency in Python and TypeScript; solid grasp of databases, message queues, caching, and API design.
• A builder's instinct for automation: turning manual processes into tools, pipelines, or self-service systems.
• Hands-on experience with modern AI coding tooling and LLM APIs, including tool use/function calling.
• Experience with agentic systems or task orchestration platforms (workflow engines, multi-agent frameworks, MCP servers, or similar).
• Strong cross-team communication skills.

Aufgaben

• Design, build, and operate production-grade platform services and infrastructure with strong reliability, observability, and performance.
• Identify manual, repetitive engineering workflows and eliminate them through self-service automation on the platform.
• Build and evolve the agentic layer: agent lifecycle, tool/MCP integrations, sandboxed execution, multi-agent workflows.
• Design the semantic data layer that grounds agents: model our systems, workflows, and decision data as connected objects and tools that agents can query and act on.
• Build safe action execution paths: connectors to internal and operational systems, staged propose-validate-approve-commit flows, with granular access control and end-to-end decision lineage/audit.
• Own system design for new platform capabilities end to end, from requirements through rollout and operations.
• Work directly with customers: lead technical onboarding, gather requirements, debug production issues, and turn field feedback into roadmap priorities.
• Establish best practices for agent evaluation, observability, and safety guardrails.
