ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a Senior AI Engineer to design and build agentic workflows and AI-powered products for enterprise customers in higher education.

MUST HAVES

- 5+ years of experience in a software product development environment.

- Strong proficiency with Java and Spring Boot.

- Experience with JavaScript and React.

- Experience with relational databases.

- Hands-on experience building AI agents, tool-using LLM applications, or orchestrated workflows.

- Experience using agents to support coding, code review, testing, release management, or incident response.

- Senior-level experience building and operating production software systems.

- Experience with TypeScript, Python, RESTful APIs, and infrastructure on AWS.

- Experience with APIs, workflow engines, event-driven architectures, integrations, or distributed systems.

- Strong understanding of testing, observability, security, permissions, and failure recovery.

- Ability to turn ambiguous opportunities into practical, reliable technical solutions.

- Strong communication skills and the ability to influence engineering practices across a team.

- Experience building enterprise SaaS or multi-tenant systems.

- Leadership mindset and ability to drive changes across different teams.

- Upper-intermediate English level.

NICE TO HAVES

- Experience with multi-agent systems, RAG, vector search, agent evaluation, or human-in-the-loop workflows.

- Familiarity with higher education technology and its privacy and compliance requirements.

- Experience leading technical transformation or introducing new engineering practices.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

- Design and build agentic workflows that coordinate tools, services, data, and human approvals.

- Develop reusable patterns for agent orchestration, tool use, context management, memory, and multi-agent collaboration.

- Use agentic coding tools throughout the development lifecycle, including planning, implementation, testing, debugging, refactoring, code review, and documentation.

- Integrate agents into software development, testing, deployment, support, and operational workflows.

- Establish standards for agent evaluation, observability, reliability, security, and governance.

- Prototype new agentic capabilities and turn successful experiments into production systems.

- Build complete, usable products—not just demonstrations or isolated model integrations.

- Identify opportunities to improve engineering productivity and product delivery through agentic development.

- Mentor engineers and help shape an agentic-first technical strategy across the organization.

- Collaborate with product and engineering leaders to connect agentic capabilities to meaningful outcomes.

- Demonstrate the ability to use AI coding agents as productive engineering collaborators across an application codebase.

- Provide agents with clear context, constraints, architecture, acceptance criteria, and technical direction.

- Review, test, secure, and improve agent-generated code rather than accepting outputs without verification.

- Decompose complex application work into agent-ready tasks while maintaining architectural consistency and product intent.

- Create workflows in which agents can reason, select tools, call APIs, manage state, recover from failures, and escalate to people when appropriate.

- Design agentic applications around real user needs, including intuitive experiences, reliable workflows, permissions, audit trails, and meaningful error handling.

- Move from prototype to production by addressing performance, scalability, security, monitoring, evaluation, cost, and ongoing maintenance.

- Understand problems deeply, make appropriate tradeoffs, and deliver complete solutions that customers can depend on.
