About the role

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Infrastructure AI team, you will design, build, and operate goal-oriented AI agents that automate SRE, DevOps, and DBA workflows across Airwallex’s global infrastructure. You won’t be doing operations work yourself — you’ll be building the AI systems that do it. Your agents will autonomously investigate incidents, provision infrastructure, manage databases, execute deployments, and handle the operational tasks that traditionally require human intervention.

What they're looking for

  • We’re looking for people who meet the minimum requirements for this role. The preferred qualifications are great to have, but are not mandatory:
  • 3+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong proficiency in backend languages such as Python, Go, Java, or Kotlin
  • Infrastructure and cloud knowledge: Practical experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Aliyun), container orchestration (Kubernetes), infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), and CI/CD systems. You understand the domain the agents will operate in
  • Strong system design skills with the ability to architect reliable, safe, and scalable agent systems that interact with production infrastructure
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a track record of working effectively across cross-functional teams in a global environment
  • Experience with agent orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or custom agent frameworks) and LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
