As a founding member of this team, you will help incubate a new paradigm of software engineeringmoving beyond static automation to dynamic, goal-oriented agentic systems that operate across all the firms business units. 

 

Key Responsibilities:

  • Agentic Orchestration: Design and deploy multi-agent systems (swarms) capable of autonomous planning, reasoning, and execution across distributed cloud environments.
  • Learning and Feedback: Build human-in-the-loop systems, evaluation frameworks, and observability mechanisms that enable continuous agent improvement.
  • Tool Integration: Design and build integrations with APIs, developer tooling, CI/CD pipelines, data platforms, or operational systems.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with diverse business units to identify high-impact use cases for agents, translating ambiguous business needs into technical agentic workflows.

 

Basic Qualifications:

  • Software Engineering Excellence: Strong proficiency in Python, Go, Java, Javascript or similar languages with a deep understanding of distributed systems and cloud-native architecture (AWS, Azure, or internal private clouds).
  • Agentic Experience: Direct experience deploying and operating LLM-based agents in production environments. Familiarity with frameworks such as LangGraph, AutoGPT, or custom-built orchestration layers.
  • AI Evals: Experience designing benchmarks, evaluations, and quality metrics for AI systems.
  • Problem-Solving Domains: Proven track record of applying agentic patterns to at least two of the following:
    • Data Analysis: Autonomous synthesis of large-scale datasets.
    • Observability: Self-healing infrastructure and automated root-cause analysis.
    • Optimization: Dynamic resource allocation and cost management.
    • Planning: Multi-step task decomposition and execution in non-deterministic environments.
  • Entrepreneurial Mindset: Ability to thrive in a 0-to-1 environment, comfortable with ambiguity, and driven to build systems that have never existed before.

 

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Demonstrated interest in emerging agentic technologies such as Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL), and swarm intelligence, with a willingness to experiment, learn, and apply new approaches where they create practical business value.
  • Familiarity with Model Context Protocol (MCP), A2A and other emerging standards for agent-to-tool communication.
  • Strong communication skills to bridge the gap between technical agentic logic and human-centric business processes.
