Demonstrated experience building production-quality systems. * Understanding of large language models (LLMs) and practical considerations for deploying them in real-world systems (latency, cost, reliability, monitoring). * Experience designing evaluation frameworks for AI systems, including benchmarking, regression testing, and failure analysis. Skills of Interest * Agent architecture: Experience with reason-act loops, planning/evaluation/self-correction patterns, tool/function calling, persistent memory systems, and structured outputs. * LLM engineering: Familiarity with frontier LLMs and trade-offs across model families; experience with prompt engineering, context management, and alignment techniques. * Retrieval and data systems: Understanding of RAG pipelines, embeddings, indexing strategies, chunking methodologies, and grounding techniques. * Infrastructure and observability: Experience building logging, tracing, monitoring, and evaluation systems for ML/AI applications. * AI-assisted development workflows: Leveraging AI tools to enhance engineering productivity and code quality. * Interest in semiconductor design, EDA workflows, and high-performance computing environments. Our Culture * Challenge the status quo: We are innovators who challenge industry norms and push forward our vision of how silicon should be built. * Strong opinions, loosely held: We are low on ego, but high on collaboration. We are okay to be wrong and are always open to learning. * Ship fast, ship quality: We ruthlessly prioritize what matters. We build at lightning speed, but never compromise on the high standards required by the semiconductor industry. * Proud of our craft: Attention to detail is in our DNA. We take pride in what we build and go the extra mile to ensure an exceptional experience for our users. ## Description * Design and implement scalable infrastructure for AI agents operating within Cadence's ChipStack SuperAgent ecosystem. * Build robust evaluation frameworks to measure agent performance, reliability, and alignment with engineering workflows. * Develop data pipelines, retrieval systems, and context-engineering strategies to support consistent and grounded agent behavior. * Contribute to continuous integration, automated testing, and observability systems to ensure production-quality deployment of AI-enabled systems. * Optimize system performance across latency, cost, reliability, and scalability dimensions. ## Related Videos - [Swapping Low Latency Data Storage Under High Load](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/746-swapping-low-latency-data-storage-under-high-load) - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [Crypto-secure Data Management with In-Database Blockchain](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/632-crypto-secure-data-management-with-in-database-blockchain) - [One AI API to Power Them All](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1601-one-ai-api-to-power-them-all) - [Unleash the power of 5G in your code: transform your apps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1567-unleash-the-power-of-5g-in-your-code-transform-your-apps) - [The AI-Ready Stack: Rethinking the Engineering Org of the Future](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1706-the-ai-ready-stack-rethinking-the-engineering-org-of-the-future) ## Related Articles - [Never delegate the understanding](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/749-never-delegate-the-understanding) - [What is Agentic Programming and Why Should Developers Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/625-what-is-agentic-programming-and-why-should-developers-care) - [Dev Digest 132 - Binging WADFlix?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/473-dev-digest-132-binging-wadflix) - [Graph and AI Trends 2026: Why Is AI Running but Not Yet Delivering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/680-graph-and-ai-trends-2026-why-is-ai-running-but-not-yet-delivering) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 210: AI Agents Are Go!
