We're looking for a hands-on engineer with a strong core technical foundation and high AI leverage. You'll build and ship agentic workflows and shape how AI is adopted across the organization.

‍

• Contribute to AI strategy and help identify opportunities for AI adoption across engineering teams
• Evaluate emerging AI tools and technologies, run PoCs, and recommend what's worth adopting
• Work in tight build-measure-learn cycles: MVP in days, validate, iterate or kill fast
• Build and maintain prototypes, plugins, and integrations with internal platforms (e.g., CI/CD pipelines, IDEs, documentation and test generation, code review, bug fixing)
• Build and maintain MCP servers and data-serving layers (internal APIs, platforms) that empower AI agents
• Help shape AI usage standards: prompt engineering patterns, model selection, and guardrails around security and compliance
• Share knowledge and support other engineers in adopting AI-augmented workflows through pairing, examples, and internal docs

Software Engineering Core

• 8+ years of software engineering experience across production systems
• Track record shipping and operating production-scale architectures
• Strong problem-solving and debug skills without relying fully on AI to do the thinking
• Solid system design, reliability, and failure handling experience
• Comfortable across multiple languages; able to jump into new stacks quickly

AI Systems

• Agentic system design, multi-step workflows, tool calling, state management, memory, context window optimization, understanding of Model Context Protocol (MCP)
• Understanding of LLM capabilities and limitations, when AI adds value and when it doesn't
• Knowledge of security and compliance considerations around AI (e.g., data leakage, model risk)
• Working experience with cloud AI services (AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, or GCP Vertex AI)

AI-Native Workflows

• AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot or Codecs) are core to your daily workflow
• You have a comprehensive agent setup: you manage CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md files, curate your own agent skills, use MCP servers, and use agent plugins 
• You use spec-driven development workflows (OpenSpec, SpecKit, Kiro or your own equivalent)
• You know how to teach and guide agents through prompts, context, examples, and iterative refinement
• You manage token economy, AI budget consciously and monitoring using tools (e.g., langfuse, custom telemetry)
• You validate AI-generated code as any engineer's PR

Strategic Thinking

• Ability to translate AI capabilities into business value
• Experience driving AI adoption beyond your team
• Product thinking: trade-offs around quality, latency, cost, and user impact

Experimental Mindset

• You compare tools, understand model limitations, and know when AI makes things worse
• AI is your default mode, not something you toggle on periodically.
• You stay current,  you're the person your team asks about the latest AI tooling

‍

• Production experience integrating LLMs into products (including RAG pipelines)
• Experience with agentic frameworks (LangChain, CrewAI, or similar)
• Open-source AI tooling contributions
• Prior experience in a developer enablement, DevEx.
