Agentic Backend Engineer

Agentic Backend Engineer

Foundever™ is a global leader in the customer experience (CX) industry. With 150,000 associates across the globe, we are the team behind the best experiences for more than 750 of the world's leading and digitalfirst brands. Our innovative CX solutions, technology, and expertise are designed to support operational needs for our clients and deliver seamless, AIdriven experiences in the moments that matter. As AI becomes increasingly agentic and autonomous, we are building a platform to orchestrate intelligent workflows that automate complex business processes at scale.

About the Role

We are looking for an Agentic Workflow Backend Engineer to architect and build a platform enabling the creation, orchestration, and execution of AIdriven automation workflows. In this role, you will design backend systems that power agent-based applications, leveraging FastAPI for service interfaces, LangGraph for agent orchestration and stateful workflows, and AWS infrastructure for scale, reliability, and security. You will work closely with data scientists, machine learning engineers, product managers, and DevOps to build a reusable, extensible platform that enables teams to compose intelligent agents, connect them to tools and data sources, and run them safely in production. This position requires strong architectural thinking, handson backend development, and comfort owning complex systems endtoend in a fastmoving, experimental AI environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Platform & Architecture Design and architect a backend platform for agentic workflows and automations
• Define patterns for agent orchestration, state management, memory, and tool integration
• Design and implement authorization (AuthZ) models for agentic workflows, defining fine‑grained permissions, scopes, and guardrails to control what agents can access and execute across tools, data sources, and workflows in production.
• Ensure scalability, observability, and fault tolerance of longrunning and asynchronous workflows
• Backend Development Develop highquality backend services using Python and FastAPI
• Implement workflow orchestration using LangGraph and related agent frameworks
• Design and maintain APIs for workflow creation, execution, monitoring, and control
• Cloud & Infrastructure Run production workloads in AWS on Kubernetes, including scaling and reliability concerns
• Integrate CI/CD pipelines for rapid iteration and safe deployment
• Implement monitoring, logging, and tracing for agent execution and system performance
• Security & Compliance Ensure compliance with certification and regulatory frameworks (e.g. PCI, HiTrust)
• Design guardrails for agent behavior, permissions, and access to tools and data
• Collaboration & Ownership Collaborate closely with ML, data, and product teams to translate business needs into platform capabilities
• Own technical decisions from design through production and iteration
• Stay up to date with advances in agentic AI, orchestration frameworks, and cloudnative architecture
