Agentic AI Engineer

Role Overview

Key Responsibilities

• Agent Cognitive Architecture
• Design the reasoning framework for how agents decompose complex ERP tasks into structured decision trees with governance checkpoints at each stage.
• Build agent personas and behavioral profiles for each Rimini Solution domain (Finance, Procurement, Supplier Management, Expense, Support) defining domain-specific reasoning patterns, risk tolerances, and escalation triggers.
• Architect dynamic tool selection strategies where agents choose which MCP tools to invoke based on context, confidence, and task requirements rather than hardcoded sequences.
• Design conversation state management for long-running agent sessions that span multiple interactions, tool calls, and human-in-the-loop approvals.
• Build confidence scoring frameworks that translate LLM output uncertainty into actionable governance decisions (proceed, verify, escalate, halt).
• Multi-Agent Coordination
• Design A2A (Agent-to-Agent) communication patterns for collaborative workflows where multiple specialized agents contribute to a single business outcome.
• Architect supervisor/worker agent hierarchies with clear delegation, progress monitoring, and result aggregation patterns.
• Build conflict resolution strategies for when agents produce contradictory assessments (e.g., risk agent says halt, efficiency agent says proceed).
• Design shared context and memory patterns that allow agent teams to build collective understanding of a business situation without redundant processing.
• Autonomous Decision Governance
• Translate OPA policy definitions into agent-actionable decision boundaries — bridging the gap between policy-as-code and agent reasoning.
• Design the autonomy progression model: how agents earn increased autonomy through demonstrated accuracy, how trust degrades after errors, and how the system self-corrects.
• Build the “explainability layer” that enables agents to articulate their reasoning chain to human reviewers in business-meaningful terms.
• Design circuit breaker patterns at the cognitive level agents that recognize when they are outside their competence boundary and proactively escalate rather than guessing.
• Knowledge Integration & Institutional Memory
• Design retrieval-augmented reasoning patterns where agents dynamically pull relevant knowledge from vector stores, historical and knowledge data and approval pattern databases during their reasoning process.
• Build the feedback mechanisms that capture how experienced users correct or override agent recommendations, turning those corrections into improved future reasoning.
• Agent Evaluation & Quality
• Design evaluation frameworks for agent behavior — not just output accuracy but reasoning quality, appropriate escalation, governance compliance, and user trust metrics.
• Build scenario-based testing methodologies: synthetic ERP scenarios that test agent behavior across edge cases, ambiguous situations, and adversarial inputs.
• Define agent performance metrics: task completion rate, escalation accuracy, false positive/negative rates for autonomous decisions, time-to-resolution, and user override frequency.
• Own the continuous improvement loop: analyze production agent behavior, identify reasoning failures, and refine cognitive architecture to prevent recurrence.

Required Experience

• 4-6 years of software engineering experience with strong Python and/or Java proficiency.
• 3+ years working with AI/ML systems in production, including LLM-based applications.
• 1+ years designing or building agentic AI systems — autonomous agents that reason, plan, use tools, and take actions (not just chatbots or simple RAG).
• Demonstrated experience with agent frameworks: LangChain/LangGraph, Pydantic AI, CrewAI, AutoGen, Semantic Kernel, or equivalent.
• Experience with tool-calling / function-calling patterns in LLMs (MCP, OpenAI function calling, Anthropic tool use).
• Understanding of evaluation methodologies for non-deterministic systems — testing outputs that aren't binary right/wrong.
• Experience building systems that handle human-in-the-loop workflows — knowing when to pause for human judgment.
• Required Technical Skills
• Preferred Skills
• Experience with ERP systems (SAP, Oracle EBS, JD Edwards) — even basic familiarity with AP, GL, procurement processes is valuable.
• Java / Quarkus experience — the platform stack is Java-native; ability to work across both Python (agents) and Java (platform) is a strong advantage.
• Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) or similar alignment techniques.
• Knowledge graph design — representing institutional knowledge as structured, queryable relationships.
• Formal decision theory or risk assessment frameworks — useful for designing autonomy governance.
• Experience in regulated industries (financial services, healthcare, government) where AI systems must be explainable and auditable.
• Technical writing — this role must document agent architectural decisions, reasoning patterns, and governance frameworks for the broader team.
