Job Level
About the role
- Identify the highest-leverage opportunities for agentic systems and emerging technologies across Product, Design, and Engineering workflows
- Map end-to-end workflows and turn ambiguous opportunities into clear technical strategies and phased execution plans
- Prioritize work based on measurable business value, technical feasibility, operational risk, and adoption potential
- Help Atria stay current on meaningful advances in emerging technologies and translate them into practical plans
- Architect and build Atria’s internal platforms for agentic workflows, including context retrieval, integrations, permissions, validation, observability, and auditability
- Design reusable services, APIs, patterns, and interfaces that support AI-assisted workflows across planning, implementation, review, release, and incident response
- Build and ship high-impact workflow improvements yourself, especially in the highest-priority and most technically challenging areas
- Create systems that can safely combine context across code, documentation, design files, collaboration tools, analytics, and other internal sources
- Define integration patterns that allow new workflows to be added without rebuilding core primitives every time
- Establish evaluation frameworks for agentic systems
- Define how output quality is measured and how systems are monitored over time for drift, regressions, and operational failures
- Instrument workflows with meaningful metrics tied to adoption, cycle time, review efficiency, quality, reliability, and user trust
- Partner with Foundations Engineering and other stakeholders to implement appropriate controls around permissions, access, audit trails, vendor risk, and sensitive data handling
- Define where agents can act autonomously, where human approval is required, and how those boundaries are enforced in tooling
- Create playbooks, standards, and training that help engineers, product managers, and designers adopt effective AI-assisted ways of working
- Raise the bar on internal practices around context management, prompt and workflow design, evaluation, and safe rollout
- Serve as a trusted technical leader across teams, influencing direction through strong judgment, credibility, and hands-on execution
- Mentor engineers through design guidance, implementation partnership, and thoughtful code review
- Help teams distinguish between impressive demos and durable production systems
Requirements
- ~8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with significant time as a senior or staff-level IC
- A track record of owning and shipping complex, cross-functional initiatives from idea through rollout and adoption
- Meaningful hands-on experience building with AI, LLM-powered, agentic, or workflow-automation systems in real environments
- Comfort operating in ambiguous domains and making strong decisions with clear tradeoffs
- Strong product judgment: you know how to choose problems worth solving, not just technologies worth exploring
