What is an AI Agent engineer?

An AI Agent Engineer designs, develops, and optimizes autonomous AI agents that can perceive, reason, and act within digital or real-world environments. They work with machine learning, reinforcement learning, and natural language processing to build intelligent systems that interact dynamically with users and other agents. These engineers often integrate AI models with APIs, databases, and software applications to create functional and scalable AI-driven solutions. Their role bridges software engineering and artificial intelligence, ensuring agents operate efficiently and adaptively in various use cases.

What are some typical challenges faced by AI Agent engineers in their day-to-day work?

AI Agent Engineers often encounter challenges such as optimizing agent performance for real-time environments, integrating new algorithms without disrupting existing systems, and ensuring their models can handle diverse and dynamic real-world data. Troubleshooting unexpected behaviors or edge cases and keeping up with rapidly evolving research in artificial intelligence can also be demanding. Working closely with product managers, data scientists, and software developers helps address these challenges, making collaboration and adaptability key components of daily tasks. Overcoming these issues offers valuable learning opportunities and contributes to the growth of robust, innovative AI solutions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an AI Agent engineer?

To excel as an AI Agent Engineer, you need a robust background in computer science, machine learning, and software engineering, often supported by a degree in a STEM field. Familiarity with programming languages like Python, relevant AI frameworks (such as TensorFlow or PyTorch), and experience with cloud platforms are typically expected, along with certifications in AI or data science being advantageous. Strong problem-solving abilities, effective communication, and teamwork skills are essential soft skills for collaborating on complex AI projects. These competencies ensure you can design, implement, and refine intelligent agents that meet real-world challenges and deliver business value.

Job description

Job Description

The Role:

We are seeking an AI Agent Engineer to design, build, and operationalize AI-powered agents that enhance employee productivity and decision-making in a complex enterprise environment. The ideal candidate combines strong AI/ML foundations, hands-on experience with agent frameworks, and a pragmatic approach to delivering business value in partnership with cross-functional teams.

Experience with Glean (or similar enterprise AI search/assistant platforms) is a strong plus.

What You'll Do:

  • Design and develop AI agents

    • Engineer and implement AI agents and workflows that automate and augment knowledge work.

    • Translate business requirements into robust agent designs, including tool orchestration, routing logic, and guardrails.

    • Prototype quickly, then harden solutions for reliability, scalability, and maintainability.

  • AI/ML and platform integration

    • Leverage LLMs and related AI services (e.g., retrieval-augmented generation, embeddings, vector search) to power agent capabilities.

    • Integrate agents with enterprise systems, APIs, and data sources (e.g., collaboration tools, knowledge repositories, ticketing systems).

    • Partner with platform teams (e.g., Glean, M365, internal APIs) to ensure secure and compliant integrations.

  • Agent lifecycle management

    • Define and implement monitoring, logging, and feedback loops to continuously improve agent performance.

    • Establish and maintain evaluation frameworks, metrics, and test harnesses for AI agent behavior and output quality.

    • Document agent architectures, decision logic, and dependencies for support and future enhancements.

  • Collaboration and ways of working

    • Collaborate closely with engineers, architects, data teams, and business SMEs in a highly matrixed, global environment.

    • Contribute to shared patterns, reusable components, and best practices for AI agent development.

    • Champion responsible AI, including security, privacy, compliance, and user trust considerations.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or related field; or equivalent practical experience.

  • 3-7+ years of professional software engineering or AI/ML engineering experience in complex, enterprise environments.

  • Strong proficiency in at least one modern programming language (e.g., Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Java).

  • Hands-on experience with LLM-based applications, AI frameworks, or agent tooling (e.g., LangChain, Semantic Kernel, custom orchestration frameworks).

  • Solid understanding of Prompt engineering and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), RESTful APIs and integration patterns, and Data structures, algorithms, and basic ML/LLM concepts.

  • Experience building production services (microservices or serverless) with appropriate observability and testing.

What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):

  • Experience with Glean or similar enterprise AI search/assistant platforms (e.g., integrating sources, configuring tools, designing agents or workflows within the platform).

  • Experience with Microsoft 365 and AI assistants (e.g., Copilot) or other enterprise collaboration ecosystems.

  • Familiarity with Enterprise identity and access management concepts (e.g., RBAC, least privilege), Observability and telemetry for AI systems (e.g., logging, tracing, quality dashboards), and experimentation and A/B testing for AI features.

  • Background in user-centric design or close collaboration with UX teams for AI experiences.
