## About the role

Spend the majority of your time (roughly 70%) designing, building, and iterating on agentic tooling: orchestration, tool-use, context management, and evaluation harnesses for autonomous code-modification agents. Build and refine the verification layer that gates what agents are allowed to ship — automated test generation, regression detection, static analysis (using our own SonarQube), and human-in-the-loop checkpoints where warranted.

## What they're looking for

- Hands-on experience building or operating multi-agent or LLM-agent systems in a real production setting — not just prompting a coding assistant, but designing the orchestration, tool-use, and guardrails around autonomous agents
- Experience building evaluation or verification systems for AI-generated changes: automated testing, static analysis, regression detection, or comparable safety nets for code you didn't personally write
- Strong software engineering fundamentals in Java and Spring (or a comparable JVM/enterprise stack) — enough to read a large, mature codebase critically and tell good architecture from bad
- A track record of owning complex, ambiguous technical problems independently and driving them to resolution — this is an R&D-flavored role inside a production platform team, and you'll be shaping the playbook, not following one
- Experience influencing engineers and squads you don't manage — the migrations you'll enable depend on their trust as much as on your code
