About the Role
Catapult is seeking an Agentic AI Engineer to build the AI layer that compounds all measured data, aiming to become the indispensable intelligence partner for every coach and athlete. This role involves designing and building specialist agents, a workflow engine for domain scientist expertise, and a decision intelligence layer for trustworthy recommendations.
Responsibilities
- Design and build specialist agents that form the AI bench.
- Develop the workflow engine that encodes domain scientist expertise into validated agent skills at scale.
- Create the decision intelligence layer that transforms agent outputs into calibrated, escalation-aware recommendations.
- Build agentic systems with memory, tool use, multi-step reasoning, and calibrated outputs.
- Implement confidence calibration and evaluation frameworks for probabilistic systems.
- Build production RAG pipelines with reranking.
- Fine-tune or adapt foundation models for specific domains.
- Implement LLM observability and drift detection in production.
- Build knowledge acquisition workflows for domain-specific AI.
- Encode expert knowledge into AI systems by translating judgment into calibration signals.
- Develop human-in-the-loop architectures, including escalation models, confidence thresholds, and consequence classification.
- Build systems that know when they do not know and what to do about it, ensuring human escalation is a first-class architectural principle.
- Design the knowledge acquisition engine to encode domain scientist expertise into validated, versioned, production-ready agent skills.
- Take proof-of-concept agents and make them production-ready, calibrated, defensible, and compounding in value.
Requirements
- 5+ years in applied ML or AI engineering.
- At least 2 years building production agentic AI systems (not chatbots or RAG pipelines alone).
- Systems must have memory, tool use, multi-step reasoning, and calibrated outputs.
- Deep experience with multi-agent frameworks and orchestration.
- Experience with dependency-aware routing, specialist agent composition, and response synthesis across conflicting outputs.
- Hands-on experience with confidence calibration and evaluation frameworks for probabilistic systems.
- Experience building evaluation harnesses that run against full input distributions.
- Production RAG experience with reranking.
- Experience fine-tuning or adapting foundation models for specific domains.
- Strong Python and Golang skills.
- Experience with LLM observability and drift detection in production.
- Experience building knowledge acquisition workflows for domain-specific AI.
- Experience working with domain scientists or clinical practitioners to encode expert knowledge into AI systems.
- Experience with human-in-the-loop architectures.
- Familiarity with sports science, biomechanics, or performance data.
- Experience with causal or counterfactual reasoning in AI systems.
- Experience working with AWS (ECS, EC2, Lambda, SNS, SQS, etc), GraphQL, REST, gRPC, Postgres, Mongo.
- Ability to build a system that knows when it does not know and what to do about it.
- Ability to make the promise of practitioner ownership of decisions architecturally real.
- Ability to encode domain scientist expertise into validated, versioned, production-ready agent skills at speed and scale.
- Ability to take proof-of-concept agents and make them production-ready, calibrated, defensible, and compounding in value.
