About the role

  • Agent Architecture Design: Designed the AI Agent architecture and implemented the "Plan-Act-Reflection" agentic flow.
  • Skill Design: Developed agent skills including Function Calling, MCP Server integration, and Streaming APIs.
  • Design DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) reasoning flows to break down ambiguous user requests into executable steps.
  • Solve critical runtime challenges like "Context Rot" (context overflow) by designing strategies for context offloading, isolation, and intelligent compression.
  • RFT: Architect the Automated Data Flywheel system. Design Reward Functions and LLM-as-a-judge pipelines to programmatically evaluate agent performance and drive reinforcement learning.

Requirements

  • Experience: 3–5 years of backend or AI engineering experience, with at least 1+ years specifically in LLM application architecture.
  • Agentic Reasoning: Deep practical knowledge of advanced agent patterns (e.g., Plan-Act-Reflection).
  • System Design: Proven ability to design complex distributed systems. Experience defining API standards and data protocols for cross-team usage.
  • Agent Development: Proven experience in building AI agents, with a solid understanding of the ReAct (Reasoning and Acting) mechanism.
  • Framework Architecture: Familiarity with the design principles of LLM orchestration frameworks such as LangChain Claude Agent SDK and Manus.
  • Strategic Optimization: Experience implementing RLHF (Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback) or DPO concepts to align agent behavior with business goals.
