## About the role

We are looking for a Senior Applied AI Engineer to join the Agent Runtime team behind Alwin , our new Agentic Automation Platform for audit and finance. Alwin agents run for long times, work through multi-step audit procedures over client evidence, and return finished work papers with every number traced back to source. Humans review and sign off.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years of software engineering experience with strong, production-grade Python
- Experience shipping and operating an LLM-powered product in production : you have dealt with hallucinations, latency spikes, tool failures and cost explosions at scale, and can explain what broke and how you fixed it
- Hands-on experience building agentic systems : control loops, tool selection, planning versus execution, retries and fallbacks, not only prompt-and-parse pipelines
- Experience with evaluation : you have built datasets, run offline and online experiments, and used the results to make an AI system measurably better
- Fluency with LLM APIs and agent frameworks across more than one model provider
- Proficient with AI-assisted engineering and excited about working with coding agents daily
