• Own quality assurance through comprehensive testing approaches including unit testing, system integration testing, and user acceptance testing, developing robust tests to cover all relevant cases

• Triage complicated failures and drive to resolution independently, helping others with their troubleshooting and root cause analysis

• Mentor junior engineers on proper standards and techniques to improve their accuracy and efficiency while providing ongoing support to applications used within the organization

Required Qualifications:

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience

• Hands-on experience with modern LLM APIs across multiple providers, including prompt engineering, tool use/function calling, structured outputs, and context engineering

• Strong ability to review, validate, and debug AI-generated code with strong engineering judgment to know when to trust AI output and when to intervene

• ArcGIS JS development and integration experience

• Solid understanding of backend systems, microservice architectures, and distributed systems in Python, Node.js, Java, Go, or C#

• Experience designing and maintaining RESTful or gRPC APIs

• Solid experience with a major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP)

• Experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL databases (MongoDB, DynamoDB)

• Working knowledge of CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, and containerization (Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes)

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience building or deploying LLM-enabled systems, AI agents, or agent orchestration frameworks

• Experience designing evaluation and testing frameworks for AI/agent-generated outputs

• Familiarity with enterprise AI/agent platforms and tool ecosystems
