Agentic Engineer I

Key Responsibilities

• As an Agentic Engineer I , you will be responsible to: Assist with the design, build, and ship production AI agents — many of them — across frameworks (Claude Agent SDK, Microsoft Agent Framework, LangGraph, or custom harnesses) Assist with the build MCP servers that connect agents to enterprise systems (PLM, MES, ALM, data platform) — business logic only; the platform handles auth, deployment, and registration Assist with the design multi-agent workflows : orchestration, handoffs, and agent-to-agent communication patterns — deciding when one agent should be five, and when five should be one Assist with the build of both the agent and the harness — the agent (model, instructions, tools, memory) and the harness it runs in (the loop: tool dispatch, context management, retries, state). Know when an off-the-shelf harness like the Claude Agent SDK loop is enough, and when the job calls for a custom one Assist with and run rapid experiments: hypothesis → prototype → deploy → evaluate → iterate — with evals that tell you whether an agent got better Embrace a fail-fast approach — short cycles, quick learning, and moving on with better information Evaluate agent frameworks, models, and tools through hands-on use, not benchmarks alone Document validated agent, skills and MCP patterns that contribute to the team's shared use case library — think in terms of scale: how do others reuse what you built Technical Expectations 1+ years of relevant experience in software development, AI applications, or related projects Exposure to AI agents or LLM-powered applications through coursework, internships, personal projects, or professional experience Experience with agent frameworks or SDKs such as LangGraph, Microsoft Agent Framework, Claude Agent SDK, or similar tools Familiarity with MCP concepts and interest in building integrations and tools for AI agents Understanding of agent architectures and ability to learn and work with different agent frameworks and development approaches Working knowledge of Python or JavaScript/TypeScript Experience with APIs, integrations, and LLM platforms Basic familiarity with Docker, containers, and cloud deployment concepts Exposure to testing, evaluation, or performance measurement of software solutions Interest in AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or Cursor Strong Plus RAG / vector search — useful as one component inside an agent, not the center of gravity OpenTelemetry / observability instrumentation for LLM apps Identity literacy — agent vs. user identity, OAuth on-behalf-of, scoped tokens Workflow automation (n8n / Power Automate) Local models (e.g. Ollama) · self-hosted infra The Platform You’ll Build On You'll work alongside the platform team and help develop it. That means the vocabulary of a governed agent platform should already make sense to you — or you should be excited to learn it in week one: model gateway, MCP gateway and catalog, agent manifest, entitlement vs. data authorization, telemetry traces, drift detection, kill switch. Business Context- The 10% Strong technical skills are the foundation, but the ability to engage with business stakeholders matters too. You should be comfortable walking into a conversation with a process owner, understanding their actual problem, and communicating what you've built in plain language. Prior exposure to how business operations work — even in a non-technical capacity — is a genuine advantage.
