Senior / Expert AI Native Software Engineer

We are A forward-thinking services company at the forefront of AI-native innovation. We partner with enterprise clients to create next-generation agent-powered workflows engineered to scale in real-world settings. Our engineers embed deeply with customers moving projects beyond experimentation into operational reality. You are An AI Native Engineer with a strong foundation in building cloud-native solutions and hands-on experience designing and deploying agentic systems especially for enterprise environments. Youre a critical thinker who thrives in ambiguity delivering concrete results by designing building and running AI agents that augment workflows and scale across modern infrastructure. Youll shape how enterprises adopt AI-native engineering - either by leading complex agentic solutions and developing engineering talent or by owning critical technical areas end-to-end as a senior IC The Work Youll partner directly with client stakeholders - acting as both technologist and trusted advisor. Youll partner with stakeholders to define use cases rapidly prototype and deploy agentic workflows that are robust secure and operational in complex enterprise domains. Often these will be net-new platforms and systems that need to be stitched together in our clients environments alongside our ecosystem partners. Agent Architecture Engineering - Design and build enterprise-ready AI agents incorporating retrieval orchestration policy-based routing tool invocation evaluation harnesses and lifecycle observability. - Implement resilient testable and maintainable agentic workflows that can be iterated on quickly. AI Platform Integration - Develop and/or extend abstraction layers across AI providers (Anthropic Google OpenAI etc.) to enable seamless integration and multi-provider enablement. - Contribute to shared libraries SDKs and patterns that can be reused across clients. Cloud-Native Engineering - Leverage containerization (Kubernetes Docker) microservices serverless event-driven architectures CI/CD and observability stacks to deliver scalable AI-native systems. - Own deployment monitoring and troubleshooting for your services in production. Domain-Specific Workflows - Tailor and deploy agentic applications across verticals (e.g. finance healthcare retail) adapting to domain-specific processes and constraints. - Work closely with client SMEs to translate business workflows into agentic solutions. Client Engagement - Participate in and/or lead design workshops POCs and code-with sessions to shape data-driven agent workflows with stakeholders fostering trust and adoption. - Communicate trade-offs risks and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Measure Improve - Define and use key metrics test harnesses and evaluation plans to measure agent accuracy latency safety and cost effectiveness. - Iterate rapidly based on data feedback and changing requirements. Knowledge Sharing - Craft reusable patterns documentation and best practices that influence internal assets and client roadmaps. - Contribute to internal communities of practice around AI-native and agentic engineering. Travel may be required for this role. The amount of travel will vary from 25 to 75 depending on business need and client requirements. Key Responsibilities - Architect and govern production-grade agentic systems at enterprise scale multi-agent orchestration across complex environments RAG pipelines policy-based routing memory management and programme-level lifecycle observability - Define RAG pipeline standards across engagements establish chunking and embedding strategies set quality benchmarks and ensure metric-backed tradeoff decisions are documented and transferable - Set multi-LLM integration standards vendor-agnostic architecture by default fallback routing and cost governance as standard design practice across providers including OpenAI Anthropic Vertex AI and open-source models - Own LLMOps at programme scale eval strategy prompt governance observability tooling standards safety monitoring and cost controls across multiple concurrent systems - Lead client engineering engagements at senior level - facilitate architecture design sessions lead proof-of-concept delivery and drive alignment between client technology leadership and delivery teams - Shape and publish reusable patterns accelerators and engineering standards that scale across the practice and reduce ramp-up time on new client engagements - Own the measurement framework for agentic system quality define accuracy latency safety and cost metrics present programme-level AI impact in business terms to senior client stakeholders Basic Qualifications - Strong software engineering experience in production environments - Hands-on experience designing and deploying agentic AI solutions in a production environment - non-negotiable - Demonstrated experience with agentic orchestration frameworks LangGraph CrewAI AutoGen or equivalent - at production depth not tutorial level - Direct experience calling LLM APIs (OpenAI Anthropic Vertex AI) in production code provider abstraction token management latency and cost tradeoffs - RAG pipeline ownership embeddings chunking strategy vector databases and context engineering - LLMOps fundamentals eval harness design prompt versioning and production observability - Cloud-native engineering maturity Kubernetes Docker microservices serverless CI/CD and IaC (Terraform or Helm) - Strong Python Java or equivalent backend language acceptable production debugging and observability experience - Quality of experience is weighted over years a candidate who has shipped three production agentic systems in four years is preferred over a generalist with passive AI exposure - People lead responsibilities experience managing developing and performance-managing a team of engineers setting individual development plans and conducting career conversations
