- Connect agents to MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that interact with various backend systems (APIs, Databases, etc) to surface their capabilities to the AI agents to drive powerful and intuitive user experiences.
- Build AI agents that can assist with store management actions, by interpreting user intent and calling necessary APIs.
- Develop and integrate AI assistant features directly into the BigCommerce control panel to support natural language queries and actions.
- Collaborate with product designers and NLP experts to deliver intuitive, useful, and delightful conversational experiences.
- Quickly build proof-of-concept solutions to validate relevant user stories.
- Contribute to internal tooling and frameworks that support LLM fine-tuning, prompt engineering, and safe action execution.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience in backend or full-stack software development, ideally with a focus on AI/MCP/A2A systems.
- Strong and proven programming skills in Go.
- Experience working with LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) and building agentic AI applications.
- Understanding of prompt engineering concepts.
- Understanding of RESTful APIs and data integration across systems.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work in a fast-paced, exploratory environment.
