Job DescriptionPosition: AI Developer Location: Palo Alto CA – Hybrid (3 days a week onsite) Interview: Video Duration: 6+ months About the Role: As an Applied AI Developer on the Enterprise AI team, you'll evaluate where AI fits, build the tools and platforms that make it practical, and enable teams across Client to adopt modern AI development patterns including LLM orchestration, agentic workflows, and model governance. You stay hands-on and outcomes-oriented: prototyping, evaluating emerging AI technologies, and shipping solutions that make the organization measurably more efficient. What You'll Do Think AI-first assess where agentic approaches genuinely outperform conventional solutions, then own the quality bar: build automated evals, simulation tests, and regression frameworks that keep our AI systems reliable and improving as they scale. Design agentic systems tool orchestration, agent reasoning, memory, MCP integrations, and human-in-the-loop workflows. Define and implement AI governance patterns guardrails, data lineage, auditability, and responsible AI practices that ensure our agentic systems are safe, compliant, and trustworthy. Drive adoption through pilots, proofs-of-concept, and scalable implementations across engineering teams. Collaborate with various business functions, product, security, and platform teams to translate AI use cases into production-grade, end-to-end solutions. What We're Looking For • 5 years of professional software engineering, with at least 2 years focused on applied AI in production systems., • Proficient in Python and/or Go; comfortable reading and writing in the other., • Proven experience building and scaling multi-agent or agent-driven systems in production real-world operational ownership, not just simple LLM workflows., • Hands-on experience with modern agent ecosystems, including frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, Google ADK, Mastra, Claude Agent SDK), observability and evals tooling (e.g., Langfuse, LangSmith, Braintrust), MCP implementations, and leading AI SDKs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic)., • Strong systems and backend architecture fundamentals designing scalable, reliable systems and handling infrastructure, performance, failure modes, cost, and deployment concerns., • Good understanding of cloud-native environments (GCP and/or AWS) compute, storage, networking, and managed AI services., • Experience designing and integrating with enterprise APIs (REST, GraphQL) including authentication and authorization patterns (OAuth2, SAML, API keys, RBAC).
