Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) Artificial Intelligence Python (Programming Language) Systems Development Life Cycle Software Engineering Git

Job description

  • Build agentic AI solutions for customers and Syntax from the core building blocks: context, memory, guardrails, tool calling / MCP, skills, and orchestration.
  • Design the harness, context, and loops that let agents do real development - including agents that build software.
  • Use agentic coding tools daily to maximize output, then attack the next bottleneck in the SDLC.
  • Steer agents with software-architecture direction and validate their output - hallucinated APIs, risky dependencies, security regressions.
  • Evaluate and adopt emerging AI tooling into Syntax’s practices.
  • Own delivery end to end and communicate clearly on specs, decisions, and roadblocks.

Requirements

  • Strong software-engineering foundation with production software you’ve built, shipped, and owned. CS/CE degree, 7+ years’ experience, 5+ in Python.
  • Solid architecture and system design - decompose an ambiguous problem, design the solution, guide humans or agents to build it.
  • Daily, fluent use of agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, Copilot).
  • Fluency with the building blocks of agentic AI: context, memory, guardrails, tool calling / MCP, and skills.
  • Judgment to validate AI output - hallucinated APIs, risky dependencies, security regressions.
  • Clear communication, precise specification writing, and Git proficiency.

Benefits & conditions

Plus

  • Shipped production agentic systems or AI-powered applications end to end.
  • Contributed to MCP servers/tools, eval frameworks, or agent-orchestration frameworks.
  • GenAI frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI) and model evaluation; GitLab and GitLab CI.
  • Cloud services and deployments (AWS, Azure, GCP).
