Job Summary

The Senior Staff Software Engineer - Agentic AI will design and deliver core agent capabilities, including policy execution, reasoning, orchestration, and failurehandling. They will build productionready agent runtimes-state and memory systems, planners, and toolrouting components-while ensuring safety, reliability, latency, and cost efficiency. This role will contribute to multiagent workflows for classification, routing, reconciliation, anomaly detection, and decisioning. The role includes implementing deterministic paths where needed, integrating graph/RAG memory, and establishing strong observability and evaluation pipelines. You will mentor engineers and help uphold high engineering standards across the team.

Essential Job Functions

• Design and enhance multiagent frameworks and LLMpowered autonomous systems using goal schemas, plannerexecutor patterns, and welldefined policy enforcement points. Contribute to the definition and implementation of agent state and memory architectures (short/longterm, episodic, semantic) with strong PIIminimization practices and appropriate TTL strategies. - (20%)

• Implement and refine ReAct, CoT, and ToT reasoning loops, and help standardize their use across agent workflows. Build offline and online evaluation signals using curated golden datasets. Contribute to defining and implementing agenttoagent communication protocols using frameworks like LangGraph, AutoGen, or CrewAI. - (15%)

• Measure and improve agent decision reliability using tools such as LangSmith, Arize Phoenix, and Weights & Biases. Design deterministic toolchaining patterns with appropriate fallbacks, and implement safeguards including idempotency, retries, and circuitbreaker logic. Contribute to integrating grounding techniques to ensure accurate and reliable agent behavior. - (15%)

• Architect and implement safety controls such as scoped tool access, allow/deny actions, validators, redteam hooks, and humanescalation paths. Use AgentSpec to define and apply Policy Enforcement Points (PEPs) that prevent highrisk or irreversible agent actions. - (15%)

• Operate and scale production agentic AI platforms on Kubernetes by defining agentcentric SLOs, instrumenting deep telemetry (reasoning quality, hallucination rates, tool latency), and supporting oncall through agentassisted triage, automated rollback/rollforward, and humangated controls. - (15%)

• Establish enterprise safety guardrails, ethical guidelines, and compliance standards to ensure agents operate within legal, regulatory, and organizational boundaries, especially in highrisk or financial workflows. - (10%)

• Partner with Product to shape AI strategy and agent user experiences, and collaborate with data and backend teams to ensure agents access highquality, realtime data across SQL systems, CRMs, SaaS platforms, APIs, and event streams within existing architectures. - (5%)

• Communicate complex agentic concepts-such as CoT, RAG, and safety controls-to nontechnical stakeholders to build trust and organizational readiness. Model resilience around model failures and promote AInative engineering practices, including prompt design and evaluation techniques, across teams. - (5%)
