About the role

As a Staff AI Agent Engineer , you are a force multiplier for customer deployments and agent quality. You own complex customer launches end to end and turn hard, bespoke problems into repeatable patterns. You operate with strong judgment, raise the engineering bar in the work, and reduce dependency on leadership by owning outcomes directly. This role is hands-on, customer-facing, and deeply technical. You are not a solutions engineer. You are an engineer who ships.

What they're looking for

  • 6+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Strong hands-on experience building and operating production systems
  • Fluency in Python and modern backend systems (APIs, services, cloud)
  • Experience working with LLM-based systems, prompts, tools, or agent frameworks
  • Ability to reason about quality, failure modes, and operational risk
  • Comfort working directly with customers on technically complex problems
