You will play a key role in the development of GEICO's virtual assistant platform that elevates productivity for 30K+ internal associates and the customer experience for millions of policyholders. You will collaborate with a dynamic team of AI and software engineers to design, develop, and deploy systems that ensure productivity, scalability, and usability of GenAI workflows across GEICO. AI Agent Platform Engineers are responsible for building key multi-tenant services that power the building, testing, simulation, deployment, and hosting of LLM-based AI agents. This includes contributing to AI agent skill ecosystems, harness and context engineering infrastructure, interoperability layers (MCP, Skills), and guardrail systems- working closely with Staff and Sr. Staff engineers who set the broader architectural direction. The ideal candidate should demonstrate a proven track record of building high-performance Generative AI Systems and platforms., * Contribute to building an enterprise AI agent skill ecosystem - developing services that support authoring, publishing, discovering, and versioning reusable skill packages (SKILL.md standard). Implement skill marketplace features including search/discovery, security vetting pipelines, and progressive disclosure loading. * Build and maintain AI agent harness components - the non-model infrastructure (tool dispatch, context management, error recovery, session state) that makes AI agents reliable for long-running workflows. Implement feedforward guides and feedback sensors mixing computational and inferential controls. * Contribute to context engineering systems that manage the LLM context window - memory management, RAG pipelines, context compaction/summarization, scratchpads, and dynamic skill/tool loading - ensuring AI agents receive the right information at the right time. * Implement guardrail components including input validation, prompt injection defense, PII detection, output verification, and skill-level security scanning. Contribute to bounded autonomy systems, human-in-the-loop escalation paths, and audit trail infrastructure. * Contribute to experimentation of software platforms, tools, and frameworks, balancing build vs. buy, speed to market, maintainability, etc. * Collaborate with cross-functional teams including data scientists, ML engineers, software engineers, product managers, and designers to gather requirements, define project scope, and prioritize feature backlogs for AI agent use cases. * Assist in the planning and estimation of software development projects, ensuring efficient allocation of resources and timely delivery of solutions. * Mentor and guide junior engineers via code reviews and design sessions, fostering a collaborative and high-performance team culture, elevating AI engineering best practices across the company., Great Rewards: We offer compensation and benefits built to enhance your physical well-being, mental and emotional health and financial future. * Comprehensive Total Rewards program that offers personalized coverage tailor-made for you and your family's overall well-being. * Financial benefits including market-competitive compensation; a 401K savings plan vested from day one that offers a 6% match; performance and recognition-based incentives; and tuition assistance. * Access to additional benefits like mental healthcare as well as fertility and adoption assistance. * Supports flexibility- We provide workplace flexibility as well as our GEICO Flex program, which offers the ability to work from anywhere in the US for up to four weeks per year. ## Related Videos - [Leveraging Real time data in FSIs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/806-leveraging-real-time-data-in-fsis) - [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) - [Reducing LLM Calls with Vector Search Patterns - Raphael De Lio (Redis)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1714-reducing-llm-calls-with-vector-search-patterns-raphael-de-lio-redis) - [Building a Multi-Agent Orchestration Engine That Actually Follows the Rules](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100159-building-a-multi-agent-orchestration-engine-that-actually-follows-the-rules) - [AI Model Management Life Circles: ML Ops For Generative AI Models From Research to Deployment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1152-ai-model-management-life-circles-ml-ops-for-generative-ai-models-from-research-to-deployment) - [Accelerating Authentication Architecture: Taking Passwordless to the Next Level](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/733-accelerating-authentication-architecture-taking-passwordless-to-the-next-level) ## Related Articles - [Got AI ideas but no money?
