About the Role

Hyperlayer is seeking a Principal AI Engineer to lead the AI infrastructure development for a new payment platform. This role involves designing and building the agent layer from architecture to launch, shaping the future of AI in a complex, multi-function system.

Responsibilities

  • Design the agentic control plane for a new platform, covering agent authoring, deployment, governance, operation, and observation.
  • Define agent declaration and scoping, including registry, authority boundaries, autonomy levels, and tool bindings.
  • Own the evaluation and analytics layer for agent behavior, including trace capture, hallucination detection, containment measurement, cost accounting, and regression tracking.
  • Participate in system-level design and architecture decisions.
  • Ensure AI systems scale, remain reliable, and meet financial regulation objectives.
  • Collaborate with platform architecture and engineering leads to ensure cohesive system integration.
  • Shape the AI architecture for a platform under development, influencing agent behavior across the system.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience in AI/ML or software engineering, with a focus on designing and shipping agentic systems into production.
  • Experience architecting agent governance for high-stakes domains, including guardrails, autonomy levels, kill switches, and human-in-the-loop approval.
  • Experience with agent runtimes, including sandboxing, isolation, tool invocation, multi-agent orchestration, and reasoning-loop control.
  • A track record of building or operating an evaluation and analytics harness for agent behavior.
  • Comfort with cloud platforms (AWS primarily, GCP is a plus) and container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Experience designing systems that combine deterministic, rules-based processing with agent-based reasoning.
  • Solid Python and SQL skills, with hands-on experience with LLM or agent frameworks (e.g., LangChain).
  • Understanding of identity and authorization models extended to non-human/agent principals.
  • A data-driven mindset and ability to define key performance metrics for agents.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills.
  • Curiosity and a passion for experimentation in AI integration.
