Summary

We’re partnering with a rapidly growing consumer-facing organization building an internal enterprise AI orchestration platform focused on intelligent support, enterprise knowledge retrieval, workflow automation, and AI-enabled experiences across field operations and corporate teams.

This is not a traditional software engineering role centered around a specific language or framework. The team is looking for a strong senior engineer who remains highly hands-on technically, thinks in systems, and uses AI-assisted development tools to accelerate delivery of production-ready software.

The environment is highly integration-focused and product-oriented, with an emphasis on building scalable internal platforms and operational tooling rather than isolated AI demos or prototypes.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Build AI-enabled internal applications and workflow experiences across desktop and mobile contexts
  • Develop secure API-first integrations across enterprise systems, SaaS platforms, and internal services
  • Design and implement agentic workflows capable of retrieving knowledge, calling tools, and automating operational tasks
  • Work closely with architecture, product, and business stakeholders to translate ambiguous operational challenges into working software
  • Use AI-assisted development tooling such as Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar platforms to accelerate engineering delivery
  • Review, validate, and harden AI-generated code for production use
  • Contribute to scalable engineering patterns, integration standards, and platform architecture decisions
  • Build with strong attention to testing, observability, maintainability, and security

Required Skills & Experience

  • 4+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Strong background in application, platform, or full stack engineering
  • Experience building production-grade enterprise applications, integrations, or internal platforms
  • Strong API and systems integration experience
  • Familiarity with API gateway or service gateway platforms such as Kong, Apigee, AWS API Gateway, or similar technologies
  • Experience working directly with business stakeholders and operating in ambiguous environments
  • Hands-on experience using AI-assisted development workflows in real-world software delivery
  • Strong systems thinking and product mindset
  • Experience with CI/CD, automated testing, observability, and secure engineering practices

Preferred Experience

  • Agentic AI frameworks such as LangGraph, LangChain, Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, CrewAI, or similar
  • MCP, tool-calling, or function-calling workflows
  • RAG, vector search, embeddings, or enterprise knowledge retrieval systems
  • AWS Bedrock or enterprise LLM platforms
  • Experience with enterprise automation or orchestration tooling
  • Familiarity with Workato, MuleSoft, Boomi, or similar iPaaS platforms
  • Exposure to retail, restaurant, field operations, or enterprise support environments
  • Experience integrating platforms such as Zendesk, Workday, Teams, Snowflake, Datadog, or similar enterprise systems
  • Mobile application exposure is helpful but not required
