  • Design and evolve shared schemas and data contracts for agents and humans.
  • Turn ambiguous partner requests into designed, reviewed, deployed, and operationally ready solutions.
  • Integrate security tools and enterprise platforms such as SOAR, SIEM, vulnerability scanners, and ticketing systems.
  • Develop reusable AI-augmented engineering practices, scaffolds, code-review discipline, and drift-detecting evaluations.
  • Own shipped systems through testing, tracing, observability, runbooks, and operational follow-through.

Requirements

  • At least one year of hands-on production software experience for P2 or three years for P3, including code review, testing, and operational follow-through.
  • Verifiable production-level Python experience.
  • Experience building or evaluating LLM or agent systems, or strong software engineering fundamentals with demonstrated AI-augmented development using tools such as Copilot or coding agents.
  • Experience designing schemas or data contracts and application UIs backed by real data.
