AI Native Software Engineering Manager

We are:

A forward‑thinking services company at the forefront of AI‑native innovation. We partner with enterprise clients to create next‑generation, agent‑powered workflows engineered to scale in real‑world settings.

You are:

An AI Native Engineer with a minimum of 3 years of experience building cloud‑native solutions, and deep expertise in designing and deploying agentic systems, especially for enterprise environments.

The Work:

You’ll embed directly with clients — acting as both technologist and trusted advisor. You’ll partner with stakeholders to define use cases, rapidly prototype, and deploy agentic workflows that are robust, secure, and operational in complex enterprise domains.

Responsibilities:

• Agent Architecture and Engineering: Design and engineer enterprise‑ready AI agents encompassing retrieval, orchestration, policy‑based routing, tool invocation, evaluation harnesses, and lifecycle observability.
• AI Platform Integration: Develop abstraction layers across AI providers (Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, etc.) to enable seamless integration and enablement.
• Cloud‑Native Engineering: Leverage containerization (Kubernetes, Docker), microservices, serverless, event‑driven architectures, CI/CD, and observability to deliver scalable AI‑native systems.
• Domain‑Specific Workflows: Tailor and deploy agentic applications across verticals — e.g., finance, healthcare, retail — addressing domain‑specific processes via intelligent automation.
• Client Engagement: Conduct design workshops, POCs, and code‑with sessions to shape data‑driven agent workflows with stakeholders, fostering trust and adoption.
• Measure & Improve: Define and use key metrics, test harnesses, and evaluation plans to measure agent accuracy, latency, safety, and cost effectiveness.
• Knowledge Sharing: Craft reusable patterns, documentation, and best practices to influence internal assets and client roadmaps.

Here’s What You Need:

• Minimum of 3 years engineering experience with cloud‑native systems (APIs, microservices, containerization, serverless).
• Minimum of 1 year expertise in designing and deploying agentic solutions (agents, orchestration, context engineering, RAG, workflows) in production environments.
• Minimum of 3 years experience with AI platforms — OpenAI, Claude, Vertex AI, plus open‑source models — including building abstraction layers to manage multi‑provider pipelines.
• Minimum of 5 years experience programming in Python, Java, or equivalent; familiarity with evaluation tooling, logging, monitoring, and agent observability.
• Minimum of 5 years experience deploying to production — CI/CD, infrastructure as code (Terraform, Helm), monitoring, and debugging.
• Minimum of 5 years experience with client communication and collaboration, including being capable of leading technical workshops and delivering under ambiguity.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent (minimum 12 years) work experience. (If Associate Degree, must have minimum 6 years work experience).

Bonus Points If:

• You’ve served as an Agentic AI Engineer in an Enterprise environment.
• Additional AI certifications or agentic tool experience is a plus.
• You’ve defined or worked with enterprise‑grade architectures for compound AI systems, orchestration frameworks, or agent registry/stream‑based architectures.
• You understand the AI‑native paradigm — blending cloud‑native with generative model architectures — optimizing for performance, modularity, and efficiency.
• You’ve delivered solutions across multiple industries (e.g., finance, healthcare) by tailoring agentic workflows to industry needs.
