Job Level

About the role

  • play a critical role in designing, building, and scaling AI-driven, agentic applications
  • work on intelligent chatbots, agentic workflows, and automation platforms
  • design and deploy scalable, production-grade systems using Python/Java
  • contribute to reusable foundational code, architectural diagrams, and guide decisions around product and tool selection
  • serve as a core member of a balanced team, mentoring junior engineers

Requirements

  • 5-8 years of relevant work experience
  • deep understanding of warehousing and logistics
  • strong understanding of LLMs, multimodal models, and transformer architectures
  • experience with fine-tuning/adapting models (LoRA, RAG, prompt optimization, RLHF basics)
  • ability to design and implement agentic architectures (single- and multi-agent systems)
  • hands-on experience with agent frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, Semantic Kernel, Swarm)
  • skill in defining agent roles, capabilities, tools, and memory patterns
  • experience building autonomous workflows: task decomposition, planning, and self-correction loops
  • strong prompt engineering skills (system prompts, dynamic context building, tool-calling protocols)
  • knowledge of grounding strategies to reduce hallucinations and enforce business rules
  • proficiency in Python and common AI/ML libraries (PyTorch, TensorFlow, OpenAI/Anthropic SDKs)
  • experience building and consuming APIs and microservices for agent tool use
  • familiarity with event-driven and asynchronous programming patterns
  • experience with RAG pipelines (embeddings, vector stores, retrieval optimization)
  • knowledge of data engineering fundamentals (ETL, data quality, schema design for knowledge bases)
  • deep experience with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP) for AI workloads
  • proficiency in cloud-native deployment architectures (Kubernetes, service meshes, managed inference endpoints)
  • experience defining and running evaluations for agents (task success, reliability, safety metrics)
  • understanding of security, privacy, and responsible AI principles (PII handling, access controls, auditability)
  • strong debugging and troubleshooting skills for complex, tool-using agent workflows
  • ability to collaborate with product, data, and engineering teams to translate business needs into agentic solutions
  • clear communication skills for documenting agent designs, assumptions, limitations, and guardrails
Benefits
  • health care benefits
  • 401K
  • ESPP
  • paid time off
  • success sharing bonus
