HybridEngineeringFull-time
Responsibilities
- Define software architecture for Agentic AI pipelines — including state machines, orchestration layers, and LLM-integrated workflows.
- Build well-tested, extensible code foundations for code translation products, with a focus on correctness and maintainability.
- Collaborate with domain specialists to incorporate formal verification and static analysis methods into the code generation pipeline.
- Partner with software engineering and research teams to build robust code repositories and CI/CD processes.
- Architect and implement complex workflows spanning code parsing, semantic analysis, AI-assisted generation, and output validation.
Requirements
- 7+ years of collaborative enterprise-level software development in C++ or Python, delivering products to a large customer base.
- Demonstrated experience gathering requirements from stakeholders and translating them into software designs.
- Track record of planning and executing large projects in a team-based setting.
- Strong software delivery fundamentals: code review, testing, CI/CD, release management, and build systems.
- Plus one of the following:
- Hands-on experience building a compiler, transpiler, or substantial build tooling (e.g. a Cargo-equivalent, a custom linker, a language runtime).
- Deep familiarity with compiler infrastructure — Clang, LLVM, MLIR, or equivalent.
- Understanding of parsing, AST design, IR transformations, and code generation backends.
- AI agentic product background: Shipped production AI agentic systems — LLM orchestration, tool-use pipelines, multi-step reasoning, or autonomous code generation.
- Experience building reliable, observable AI workflows with structured outputs, retry logic, and evaluation frameworks.
- Familiarity with ML tools and frameworks (PyTorch, Hugging Face, LangChain, or similar).
Preferred Requirements
- Experience with advanced software verification techniques such as fuzzing, symbolic execution, or formal verification (e.g. TLA+, Coq, Z3).
- Hands-on experience with embedded, heterogeneous (FPGA and/or GPU), or distributed systems.
- Familiarity with DSP, RF, communications, or other compute-intensive domains.
- Experience optimizing and deploying software on constrained or specialized hardware.
