Sr. Software Engineer

• Design and build AI agent systems that reason about complex enterprise environments, integrate with external tools and data sources, and take reliable action on behalf of users.
• Develop the backend services, APIs, and orchestration layers that power agent execution, tool integration, and multi-cloud operations.
• Build developer-facing surfaces including APIs, SDKs, and tooling that make the product accessible, reliable, and intuitive for both internal and external users.
• Own end-to-end delivery of features from design through production, including architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, and operational support.
• Make foundational design decisions for a new product: data models, API contracts, service boundaries, and infrastructure patterns that will define how this system scales.
• Work across the stack in a high-ownership team where everyone builds and everyone ships.

• Design and deliver complex cloud-native applications that meet performance, scale, and reliability requirements.
• Solid programming experience in server-side languages and frameworks (e.g., Node.js, Python, Java, Golang, or Rust). Experience with front-end technologies (HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript/TypeScript) and frameworks such as React or Angular is a plus.
• Proven ability to develop RESTful APIs or microservices, work with web frameworks, and integrate with databases (SQL and/or NoSQL).
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure using tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or Azure DevOps.
• Understanding of security best practices, including authentication/authorization (OAuth, SSO), encryption, and compliance standards.
• Proven ability to make sound design decisions: you can evaluate trade-offs, define system boundaries, and own the architecture of the components you build.
• Collaborate closely with team members to integrate systems and ensure high-quality deliverables for customer success.
• Actively mentor and develop team members to build a strong, high-performing team.
• Work as part of a larger team, collaborating closely with team members and leadership to ensure overall team objectives are met as ONE team., * Experience with LLM integration, AI agent frameworks, or building systems that incorporate model inference into production workflows (tool calling, retrieval-augmented generation, prompt engineering).
• Familiarity with agentic design patterns: tool-use protocols, context management, multi-step reasoning, and grounding AI models in real-time data.
• Experience building developer tools, extensions, or CLI tooling used by external developers.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and containerization tools such as Docker and Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation).
• Experience with enterprise cloud infrastructure, data management, or storage systems.
• Experience in a fast-paced environment where you built new systems end-to-end, not just extended existing ones., * 8+ years of industry experience in software development.
• 3+ years of experience in building and operating cloud-native, fault-tolerant, highly scalable architectures, including service-oriented architectures, cloud-native services (FAAS, PAAS), with at least one hyperscaler (Azure, AWS, GCP)., * Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. Master's Degree Preferred.
