We’re looking for a Senior GenAI/Agentic AI Engineer to help turn complex business needs into practical, production-ready AI solutions. This role offers the chance to design and build innovative agentic workflows, prompt-driven applications, and GenAI tools that support meaningful outcomes in a collaborative, technology-forward environment.

Responsibilities

• Translate ambiguous business and stakeholder needs into effective GenAI solutions and agentic workflows.
• Design and build AI agents and multi-step orchestration patterns using tools, function calling, retrieval, and human-in-the-loop approaches.
• Develop and improve prompts, RAG pipelines, structured outputs, and LLM-based applications.
• Create and apply evaluation methods to test quality, reliability, safety, and failure modes of agentic systems.
• Integrate GenAI solutions with enterprise data, APIs, applications, and internal tools.
• Partner with product, engineering, and business teams to prototype, validate, deploy, and continuously improve use cases.
• Apply practical considerations around observability, guardrails, security, latency, cost, and responsible AI.

Skills

• 3+ years of directly relevant engineering experience, or 5+ years for a senior-level background.
• Hands-on experience with LLMs, agentic architectures, prompt engineering, and retrieval-augmented generation.
• Strong ability to evaluate and test AI solutions for performance, reliability, and safety.
• Experience building production-ready applications and working across the full application lifecycle.
• Excellent problem-solving skills with the ability to translate business problems into well-structured technical solutions.
• Clear communication and collaboration skills for working with cross-functional stakeholders.
• Comfort with AI coding tools such as Antigravity, Kiro, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or similar platforms.

Preferred Skills

• Familiarity with agentic deployment, monitoring, observability, and guardrails.
• Exposure to integration approaches such as MCP and A2A.
• Experience working with AI systems in environments where responsible AI, security, and cost efficiency are important.
• Ability to learn new GenAI tools and frameworks quickly.
• Background in fast-paced, collaborative environments where experimentation and iteration are encouraged.
