## About the role

Design & ship production agents: Own one or more high-impact agent workflows (e.g., Permit Intake Triage, Smart Document QA, Compliance Comment Copilot, Code Lookup inside LiteTable). Compose multi-step graphs (LangGraph) with Strands-based reasoning/tooling and develop internal/external tools for targeting heterogeneous datasets.

## What they're looking for

- Agent frameworks: Depth with LangGraph (graph orchestration, state, recovery) and Strands Agents (structured tool reasoning), experience integrating MCP clients/servers
- Production chops: 7–12+ years shipping high-reliability backend or ML systems (Python/TypeScript), cloud infra (AWS), containers (ECS/EKS), CI/CD, IaC, and secure integration patterns
- Retrieval & data: Hands-on with RAG, document stores/vector DBs (bonus: knowledge of Pinecone or early exposure to S3 Vectors ), schema/versioning for code texts and comments
- Evaluation mindset: Ability to design realistic, auditable testbeds, familiarity with agent benchmarks (and their pitfalls) and how to turn real user flows into acceptance tests
- Safety & governance: Policy-driven guardrails (Grounding checks, topic/word filters), auditability, and human-in-the-loop controls
- Domain empathy: Curiosity for building codes, plan sets, and reviewer workflows, comfort working with messy PDFs/CAD and plan-review UX
