About the role

We're looking for an engineer who builds autonomous AI systems that reason, plan, and execute in production environments. You'll design multi-agent architectures, orchestration pipelines, and tool-use frameworks that power our enterprise AI solutions. This is not a research role — this is a production engineering role where your agents run 24/7 in enterprise environments.
Key Responsibilities: Design and build multi-agent systems using frameworks like LangGraph, CrewAI, or custom orchestration. Implement tool-use, function calling, and agentic workflows that operate reliably in production.
LLM Integration & Optimization: Work with models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and open-source (Llama, Qwen, Mistral).Optimize prompts, manage context windows, implement RAG pipelines, and fine-tune models for domain-specific tasks.
Production Systems:
  • Build agents that run 24/7 in enterprise environments with proper error handling, fallback strategies, human-in-the-loop controls, and observability.
  • Deploy on AWS (Bedrock, SageMaker, ECS).Evaluation & Testing
  • Design eval frameworks to measure agent quality, accuracy, and safety.
  • Build automated testing for agentic workflows including regression testing and red‑teaming.
Security & Governance: Implement guardrails, output validation, and audit logging for AI agents operating in regulated industries. Self-directed builder who ships without hand-holding. Strong Python skills with deep understanding of async patterns and systems design. Understands LLM internals (not just API wrappers) — tokenization, attention, context management. Production-minded: thinks about reliability, observability, and failure modes from day one. Comfortable with ambiguity and evolving requirements.
Preferred Qualifications: 3+ years building with LLMs in production environments. Experience with agentic frameworks (LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or custom).Strong Python and systems programming skills. Familiarity with AWS AI services (Bedrock, SageMaker, ECS).Understanding of prompt engineering, RAG architectures, and retrieval systems. How We Work Outcome-driven Enterprise-first Agentic by design Systems that reason and act safely Small teams, high ownership Autonomy with accountability What You'll GetWork on real, production AI deployments Enterprise-scale challenges and measurable impact Cross-functional collaboration and high ownership Flexible work setup where applicable
Hiring Process:
  • Intro call
  • Fit + context
  • Technical deep dive
  • Agent architecture, LLM systems, production design
  • System design exercise
  • Multi-agent workflow design
  • Final conversation
  • Alignment + next steps
  • We value clarity, ownership, and thoughtful execution over buzzwords.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
