Position Overview: This role is responsible for building AI agents, developing API integrations, and implementing Pub/Sub messaging solutions. The ideal candidate understands the full agentic AI development lifecycle and has experience designing and developing AI solutions. Initially, the role focuses on building AI capabilities for the Commercial Services Loan Operations team, with the expectation that these solutions will eventually scale across the enterprise. This is a hands-on development role that involves close collaboration with cross-functional teams and ownership of projects to ensure continuity and successful delivery.
Key Responsibilities: - Design and implement production agent workflows using reference patterns: single-agent, supervised multi-agent, and tool-using agents

- Engineer RAG pipelines and retrieval behavior (chunking, embedding selection, re-ranking, context assembly)
- Implement agent memory and state management patterns that are compliant and operationally safe
- Create and maintain evaluation harnesses and regression suites for non-deterministic outputs
- Implement required guardrails (prompt injection defenses, tool restrictions, output filtering) and pass pre-deployment security gates
- Instrument agents for observability: decision traces, tool-call telemetry, retrieval diagnostics, token/cost metrics, and quality signals
- Ship via CI/CD with production readiness: feature flags, rollbacks, versioning, and runbooks
- Lead design and code reviews for agent components and mentor other engineers
- Debug complex failure modes and implement mitigations
Primary Requirements: - 7+ years in software engineering with 2+ years building LLM-enabled applications or agent systems in production
- Hands-on experience with at least one frontier model platform (Claude, GPT-4+, Gemini) including tool use and multi-turn workflow design
- Experience developing and integrating APIs
- Experience with end-to-end testing of agentic AI solutions
- Cloud engineering experience, including hands-on experience with Cloud Run
- Production delivery experience: CI/CD, containerization (Docker), and operational readiness (monitoring, logging, incident response)
- Java development experience
- Kubernetes experience
- Experience implementing and validating RAG systems (vector search, embeddings, retrieval quality)
- Ability to design for reliability and safety: failure mode thinking, graceful degradation, and clear human escalation paths
Desired Skills: - Azure or AWS experience
- Experience with Pub/Sub and event-driven architectures
- Experience in regulated financial services (SOX, GLBA, data classification, audit expectations)
- Experience with evaluation frameworks and model monitoring practices
- Experience building multi-agent orchestration and constraint systems
- Familiarity with secure software development (threat modeling, SAST/DAST, secrets management)
- Strong communication and collaboration skills
- Experience leading technical initiatives or engineering teams
