- Translate business requirements into robust agent designs, including tool orchestration, routing logic, and guardrails.
- Prototype quickly, then harden solutions for reliability, scalability, and maintainability.
- AI/ML and platform integration
- Leverage LLMs and related AI services (e.g., retrieval-augmented generation, embeddings, vector search) to power agent capabilities.
- Integrate agents with enterprise systems, APIs, and data sources (e.g., collaboration tools, knowledge repositories, ticketing systems).
- Partner with platform teams (e.g., Glean, M365, internal APIs) to ensure secure and compliant integrations.
- Agent lifecycle management
- Define and implement monitoring, logging, and feedback loops to continuously improve agent performance.
- Establish and maintain evaluation frameworks, metrics, and test harnesses for AI agent behavior and output quality.
- Document agent architectures, decision logic, and dependencies for support and future enhancements.
- Collaboration and ways of working
- Collaborate closely with engineers, architects, data teams, and business SMEs in a highly matrixed, global environment.
- Contribute to shared patterns, reusable components, and best practices for AI agent development.
- Champion responsible AI, including security, privacy, compliance, and user trust considerations.

### Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or related field; or equivalent practical experience.
- 3–7+ years of professional software engineering or AI/ML engineering experience in complex, enterprise environments.
- Strong proficiency in at least one modern programming language (e.g., Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Java).
- Hands-on experience with LLM-based applications, AI frameworks, or agent tooling (e.g., LangChain, Semantic Kernel, custom orchestration frameworks).
- Solid understanding of Prompt engineering and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), RESTful APIs and integration patterns, and Data structures, algorithms, and basic ML/LLM concepts.
- Experience building production services (microservices or serverless) with appropriate observability and testing.

### What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

- Experience with Glean or similar enterprise AI search/assistant platforms (e.g., integrating sources, configuring tools, designing agents or workflows within the platform).
- Experience with Microsoft 365 and AI assistants (e.g., Copilot) or other enterprise collaboration ecosystems.
- Familiarity with Enterprise identity and access management concepts (e.g., RBAC, least privilege), Observability and telemetry for AI systems (e.g., logging, tracing, quality dashboards), and experimentation and A/B testing for AI features.
- Background in user-centric design or close collaboration with UX teams for AI experiences.
