Sr Engineer - AI

The Opportunity

The Work Itself

• Extend the agent manifest with new specialist agent types (define capability, constraints, tool access, handoff protocol).
• Maintain and evolve the behavioral rules, discovery guide, and coding standards that all agents inherit.
• Build the memory and context-passing infrastructure that makes agents coherent across multi-step tasks.
• Carry high-scoring PoCs (test automation, vulnerability management, architecture agents, risk review automation) from working demo to production-ready service.
• Add the reliability layer each PoC currently lacks: retries, circuit breakers, health endpoints, SLO instrumentation, runbooks.
• Integrate with existing engineering toolchains (Jira workflows, CI/CD pipelines, Dynatrace observability).
• Build and ship features on the Logos platform, publishing deliverables and documentation to the PLS Confluence space.
• Implement agent-driven workflows that automate high-friction engineering tasks at scale.
• Write Python and TypeScript automation scripts that interact with Confluence, Jira, and internal REST APIs via authenticated calls.
• Build coverage, vulnerability scanning, and SRE readiness gate pipelines using the established agent patterns.
• Maintain and improve CI gate behavior, test coverage thresholds, and regression detection.

The Qualifications We’re Looking For

• Minimum Requirements: 3+ years of relevant experience.
• Minimum Requirements: Bachelor’s Degree in computer science, computer engineering, or equivalent.
• Preferred Requirements: 4+ years of professional software development; strong in at least two of: Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Java/Kotlin.
• Preferred Requirements: Production experience building systems that call external APIs — REST, auth patterns, error handling, retry logic.
• Preferred Requirements: Demonstrated ability to read an unfamiliar codebase quickly and extend it without breaking what exists.
• Preferred Requirements: Strong written communication — your code, commit messages, and Confluence documentation are read by humans and agents alike.
• Strongly Preferred Requirements: Hands-on experience with the Anthropic Claude API or Claude Code (tool use, agentic loops, multi-step tasks).
• Strongly Preferred Requirements: Experience building or maintaining a structured agent framework — prompt routing, context management, behavioral guardrails.
• Strongly Preferred Requirements: Familiarity with Confluence and Jira REST APIs (Cloud or on-prem).
• Strongly Preferred Requirements: SRE or platform engineering background: SLOs, observability instrumentation, production readiness gates.
• Strongly Preferred Requirements: Financial services experience or comfort operating under strict change management and security controls.

You May Be a Great Fit If

• You have built something real with AI agents — not a toy, a system that runs unsupervised and handles failure gracefully.
• You think about agent behavior the way a senior engineer thinks about service contracts: what can the caller rely on, what are the invariants, what happens when inputs are bad.
• You are as comfortable writing Python scripts that hit internal APIs as you are designing the agent type that calls them.
