## About the role

We are hiring a Software Engineer for the Automation team to use AI to solve and automate manual work across Coalition. This is a hands-on AI engineering role: authoring skills, wiring agents to our systems of record through MCP, building evals, and deploying agents that non-engineers depend on every day. You will not be starting from zero. We have early workflows live in production, more proofs of concept in the oven, and working hypotheses about how all of this should fit together.

## What they're looking for

- Agent tooling: Practical experience with MCP, skill or tool authoring, and orchestrating agents against real systems of record
- Evals: You have built eval sets and used them to make decisions, not just to make a slide look good
- Coding agents: Fluent with agentic coding tools like Cursor. You use them to move faster inside codebases you did not write
- Core development: Strong Python. Comfortable with SQL and working directly against production data models
- Business fluency: You can sit with a non-technical operator, map their process, and translate it into requirements without a PM in the room
- Comfort with ambiguity: Undocumented processes, half-broken internal tools, and unclear ownership are the normal starting conditions. You find the thread and pull it
