Pay Rate Range: $50/hr. - $60/hr. on C2C

Interview: Face to Face Interview is Mandatory

If you've been building software for a few years, you've picked up real engineering instincts, and you're the person on your team who's already experimenting with agents and LLMs on the side - this is a chance to do that work for real, at enterprise scale, on production systems that matter.

What you will do:
Build agentic features, hands-on. Work alongside senior engineers to design and ship AI-powered remediation capabilities: agent workflows, retrieval pipelines, evaluation loops.
Write production code daily. Java/Spring Boot microservices and AI integrations on AWS.
Learn the full lifecycle. From an idea in a design doc to something running in production, instrumented, monitored, and improved based on real usage.
Bring fresh eyes. You're closer to the newest models, frameworks, and techniques than engineers who've been heads-down in one stack for a decade - we want that perspective in the room, not just deference to seniority.
Grow fast. Work directly with senior engineers who'll push your technical depth, and take on more ownership as you earn it.

Our stack
Java / Spring Boot microservices on AWS (Lambda, SQS, SNS, IAM, CloudWatch).



AI Stack: AWS Bedrock and AgentCore, MCP for tool integration, RAG pipelines with vector and graph-based retrieval, LLM-as-judge evaluation. Some Python and Go at the edges. You won't know all of this - we're more interested in how fast you pick things up than what's already on your resume.

What you will bring:
4+ years building software professionally - you've shipped real features, not just coursework or side projects, and you understand what "production" demands.
Genuine curiosity about AI/agentic systems - you've built something with LLMs or agents, even outside of work: a side project, a hackathon entry, an experiment that didn't ship. We want to hear about it.
Solid engineering fundamentals - distributed systems basics, APIs, cloud infrastructure (AWS). You need to know what good code and good design look like.
You experiment and iterate ideas quickly and bring new perspectives







Nice to have
Experience with multiple LLM APIs or agent frameworks
Python or Go
POCs using AI for coding, automation, or data work
Contributions to open source AI/ML tooling.
