Responsibilities

• Design, build, and deploy production-grade agentic AI systems.
• Operate and maintain agentic AI systems at enterprise scale.
• Ensure system reliability, orchestration, monitoring, and debugging.
• Expose enterprise capabilities as tools or skills for LLM-powered agents.
• Integrate with existing backend services, potentially using Java.

Requirements

• 7+ years of software engineering experience, with demonstrated experience building and shipping production systems.
• Hands-on production experience with agentic AI or GenAI applications, including deployment, monitoring, debugging, and operating agents at scale.
• Strong Python engineering skills, with the ability to work effectively in production AI and agentic system environments.
• Java experience or willingness to work daily within a Java service layer, especially where enterprise systems require integration with existing backend services.
• Experience with agent frameworks and orchestration technologies, including LangChain and/or LangGraph.
• Familiarity with production infrastructure for AI systems, including Kubernetes-based deployment environments.
• Ability to explain shipped system architecture and failure modes, including what was deployed, how it was monitored, where it failed, and how issues were resolved.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with LangGraph as a production orchestration layer.
• Experience with vLLM or comparable model-serving infrastructure.
• Experience in regulated-industry or financial-services technology environments, especially where enterprise scale and production-path stakes are important.
• Experience working with business stakeholders to deliver end-to-end AI use cases, not only platform or prototype work.
