Responsibilities

  • Translate client business problems into scalable, production-ready agentic AI solutions.
  • Design and implement multi-step agent systems with orchestration, tool and function calling, task decomposition, and multi-agent coordination where appropriate.
  • Integrate agents with enterprise systems using APIs, MCP servers, and structured tool contracts.
  • Build evaluation frameworks, guardrails, grounding and citation checks, and human-in-the-loop workflows.
  • Instrument systems for traceability and observability across agent actions, model behavior, token and cost usage, latency, and performance.
  • Design state and memory management, model routing, retries, idempotency, and other production reliability patterns.
  • Build and deploy AI solutions using Azure or AWS cloud platforms and related AI and infrastructure services.
  • Apply software engineering practices using Python or Java, automated testing, source control, and CI/CD.
  • Collaborate with client engineering and security teams on architecture reviews, threat modeling, security reviews, audits, and enterprise delivery requirements.
  • Convert successful client approaches into reusable patterns and solutions for Zeal.

Requirements

  • Hands-on experience designing and shipping production agentic AI systems involving tool or function calling, multi-step workflows, orchestration, task decomposition, or multi-agent architectures.
  • Experience evaluating agent behavior and building evaluation harnesses, guardrails, grounding checks, human-in-the-loop controls, and failure mitigation mechanisms.
  • Deep hands-on experience with either Azure or AWS and surrounding AI and infrastructure services.
  • Strong proficiency in Python or Java, API design, containers, automated testing, source control, and CI/CD.
  • Enough machine learning knowledge to determine when traditional machine learning or deterministic approaches are more appropriate than an LLM.
  • Experience delivering software in large organizations with role-based access, data isolation, security reviews, compliance, change control, and production governance requirements.
  • Experience with agent traceability, state and memory management, model routing, latency and cost visibility, retries, and idempotency.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to explain AI systems, decisions, risks, and tradeoffs to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Strong technical judgment and problem-solving ability, including recognizing when agentic solutions introduce unnecessary complexity.
  • Experience with MCP, emerging tool-interoperability standards, evaluation frameworks such as RAGAS, fine-tuning, model distillation or optimization, or regulated industries is helpful but not required.

Benefits

  • Work with passionate, talented colleagues in a kind, generous, and collaborative environment.
  • Consult for Fortune 1000 companies across industries and technical stacks, with varied projects and significant impact.
  • Role available across the company’s primary LATAM hub in Peru.
  • Hiring process may include a preliminary phone interview, video interviews, and a take-home exercise with up to one week for completion.
