Job description

testing, and deployment Develop agent workflows and production deployments using cloud managed services for AI hosting (e.g., Bedrock, Azure AI Foundry, Vertex AI), selecting services and development tools against the system’s requirements Implement and operate an LLM gateway & routing layer covering model tiering, quota/cost control, and observability (e.g., LiteLLM, APIM AI Gateway) Design memory and context-management approaches for multi-step workflows, including state persistence, retrieval quality, retention, and isolation between users or engagements Build and maintain MCP servers and tool integrations for authorized security workflows, including reconnaissance, scanners, controlled exploit tooling, and internal services. Define contracts, permissions, approval boundaries, and recovery behavior Establish automated tests and agent evaluations for your components. Distinguish model-quality issues from software defects, and cover tool failures, interrupted execution, and unintended

Requirements

repeated actions Diagnose production issues using logs, metrics, and traces. Improve reliability, latency, and cost, and verify that mitigation and recovery work as intended Contribute to CI/CD, release checks, rollback plans, code review, and technical documentation. Mentor less experienced engineers and communicate decisions clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders Requirements Substantial production software engineering experience, typically five or more years, including at least one year delivering LLM-based agents to production. You can explain your contribution, the trade-offs you made, and the operational results Strong programming skills and production experience in at least one general-purpose language, together with hands-on agent development using SDKs, frameworks, or direct model APIs. You can independently learn an unfamiliar language or runtime and validate your implementation through tests and diagnostics Depth in at least one technical area and the ability to evaluate language, runtime, and framework trade-offs against the system’s requirements, including concurrency, performance, maintainability, and integration needs Experience designing systems or substantial components, evaluating alternatives, and independently making technical decisions within an agreed scope Practical experience with MCP, tool use, prompt and context engineering, memory, and agent evaluation, including testing behavior across multiple steps and failure conditions Practical experience with cloud managed services for AI hosting (e.g., Bedrock, Azure AI Foundry, Vertex AI), including runtime, state, identity, integration, and observability concerns, and the ability to adopt an unfamiliar platform through working implementations Production engineering skills in API design, asynchronous processing, persistence, authentication and authorization, observability, retries, and security boundaries. You can investigate issues that span multiple components Experience with automated testing, CI/CD, code review, and AI-assisted development, together with a disciplined approach to validating generated output. You can clarify requirements, communicate designs, and support the growth of other engineers Proficiency in English at a B2+ level Nice to have Experience in application security, web penetration testing, or red-teaming within an authorized scope Experience with sandboxed code execution, browser agents, or autonomous tool orchestration Experience improving evaluation coverage, deployment safety, or operating costs for agent systems Experience conducting technical interviews or contributing to engineering standards and knowledge sharing
