Job DescriptionThe RoleWe're building the runtime infrastructure that powers Moveworks' AI agents - the systems that orchestrate, execute, and deliver agent responses to millions of enterprise users in real time. This is not an ML role. This is a
distributed systems engineering role at the heart of the agentic AI wave.
Our AI agents can plan, execute multi-step workflows, call tools, wait on human input, and resume - all while maintaining correctness, observability, and low latency. The systems that make this possible are what you'll build and own.
What you get to do in this role:- Agent orchestration engine - A state machine that manages long-running agent sessions, coordinating planning, execution, and user interaction across multiple LLM calls and tool invocations
- Distributed session management - Lease-based ownership using DynamoDB conditional writes, heartbeat protocols, and crash recovery via checkpointing
- Event-driven message pipeline - SQS FIFO queues for ordered delivery, Kafka consumers for event processing, and real-time streaming via gRPC and Socket.IO
- Structured concurrency - Python asyncio TaskGroups running multiple concurrent tasks per session (message polling, lease heartbeats, output publishing, orchestrator execution) with fail-fast semantics and graceful cancellation
- Observability infrastructure - OpenTelemetry instrumentation, distributed trace context propagation across async boundaries, custom span lifecycle management for sessions that span minutes
- Caching and state layers - Redis, DynamoDB KV stores with per-org/per-bot scoping, batch read optimization, and hot-reload configuration
QualificationsTo be successful in this role you have:You should have deep experience in at least 3 of these areas:- Distributed systems: consistency models, idempotency, exactly-once delivery, distributed locking/leasing
- Concurrent/async programming: Python asyncio, Go goroutines, structured concurrency, cancellation handling
- Event-driven architectures: message queues (SQS, Kafka), pub/sub, backpressure, delivery guarantees
- Database systems for infrastructure: DynamoDB (conditional writes, transactions), Redis (connection pooling, pub/sub)
- Observability: OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing, span context propagation, Prometheus metrics
- gRPC/protobuf: streaming RPCs, service interface design, error handling patterns
Required:- 7+ years building production backend/infrastructure systems
- Strong in Python or Go (ideally both)
- Experience designing and operating systems that handle real traffic at scale
- Comfort with ambiguity - these are novel problems without textbook solutions
