About the Role
This role involves building and expanding a private, secure AI platform for the engineering organization, including AI agents that automate engineering work. You will help shape how the engineering organization uses AI to design, develop, validate, and support advanced networking products.
Responsibilities
- Own the configuration, tooling, and infrastructure for the AI platform.
- Design, implement, and improve autonomous agents that automate engineering operations.
- Take agents from concept to production, including FastAPI REST API, CLI interface, and chat integration.
- Maintain and improve the platform infrastructure, including containerized services on Linux, reverse proxies, systemd timers, PostgreSQL and Redis, secrets management, and enterprise integrations.
- Author and tune structured workflows and system instructions for AI agents.
- Build and maintain automated validation pipelines for configurations, credentials, and agent contracts.
- Track platform costs and value, making decisions about model selection and token usage.
- Evaluate and adopt new AI tooling to keep the platform current.
Requirements
- B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
- Experience building software, applications, scripts, or services in Python or a comparable general-purpose programming language.
- Familiarity with software development fundamentals, including version control, testing, debugging, and code review.
- Practical experience developing, deploying, operating, or troubleshooting software in a Linux environment.
- Hands-on experience implementing, integrating, extending, or operating MCP clients, servers, tools, or MCP-based workflows.
- Hands-on experience building an AI agent or LLM-powered workflow that performs meaningful work using tools, APIs, structured workflows, files, databases, or external systems.
- Experience building or integrating a RAG workflow that grounds model output in documentation, code, databases, files, or other authoritative information.
