Moving AI agents from a playground demo to production requires serious software engineering discipline. We are looking for an AI Agent Engineer who knows how to build scalable, secure, and fully auditable agentic systems.

In this role, you won't just tweak prompts until they "feel right." You will build spec-driven orchestrator and sub-agent architectures, manage sensitive data classifications, integrate tool gateways, and establish comprehensive test cases. You’ll work closely with Product, Security, and Cloud Architecture to ensure every agent operates strictly within its designated guardrails and risk tiers.

Skills and Competencies:

- Write full agent specifications — purpose, capabilities, input/output contracts, guardrails, and tool boundaries — to the same level of rigor a safety-critical system would get, not a quick README.

- Design and build orchestrator agents that hand work off to specialized sub-agents, and hold the line on a simple rule: the orchestrator coordinates, it doesn't do the work itself.

- Write and test system prompts, and design tool schemas that stay accurate even when an agent has to choose between fifteen or twenty different tools — not just three.

- Work with the Data Steward to classify how sensitive each agent's data is, and with the Product Owner/Architect to set its risk tier, before anything goes up for registration.

- For each capability an agent has, decide whether it should be deterministic logic or model judgment, and build test cases that prove it actually meets that bar.

- Build every agent against the platform's tool gateway, so nothing an agent does falls outside what it's registered and approved to touch.

- Design for scale from day one — sessions that stay isolated from each other, failures that are predictable, and no assumptions that only hold up in a single test run.
