AI Agent Developer I

Responsibilities

• Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in AI/ML technologies by participating in training, workshops, and team discussions.
• Develop and implement AI agents and multi-agent systems capable of autonomously executing tasks, making context-driven decisions, and interacting with external tools, APIs, databases, and external services.
• Architect and orchestrate multi-step, multi-agent workflows, decomposing high-level goals into executable tasks and ensuring seamless communication, reliable tool use, and efficient coordination across complex pipelines.
• Implement logic for LLM-driven decision-making, including tool selection, tool chaining, fallback strategies, guardrails, and overall agent resilience.
• Build and maintain evaluation and observability frameworks to measure agent accuracy, reliability, and efficiency, while continuously monitoring production behavior and improving system robustness.
• Develop memory, retrieval, and RAG systems using vector databases or knowledge graphs to enhance agent context, reasoning, and long-term performance.
• Deploy, scale, and manage agent-based solutions on cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, and GCP.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams—including product, domain experts, engineering, and security—to ensure agent capabilities align with business requirements and operational constraints.

Qualifications

• You Must Have:
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, mathematics, applied statistics, various engineering disciplines, or related STEM discipline
• 0-2 years of experience in cloud engineering or a related field. Relevant experience can be considered as a substitute for the required educational qualifications.
• In the absence of a degree, a minimum of 4 years of related experience is required.
• Basic programming skills in Python, C++, C#, or Java.
• Understanding of foundational machine learning concepts and techniques.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Proficiency in prompt engineering and context design for reasoning and tool orchestration.
• API and tool integration skills (REST, GraphQL, microservices).
• We Prefer:
• Exposure to neural networks, signal processing, or computer vision frameworks.
• Internship or project-based experience in AI, data science, or software development.
• Familiarity with version control tools (e.g., Git).
• Exposure to Agile or DevOps methodologies through coursework or internships.
• Experience participating in team-based software development projects.
• Ability to analyze small-to-moderate datasets using standard statistical or ML methods.

Essential Functions

• Work on a computer for extended hours performing coding, debugging, and testing.
• Attend and contribute to team meetings and brainstorming sessions.
• Travel occasionally to support testing or deployment efforts (up to 10%).

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision plans
• 401(k) with 150% match up to 6%
• Life insurance
• 3 weeks paid time off
• Tuition reimbursement
• and more
