About the job
WRITER is seeking a highly skilled full-stack software engineer to join their engineering team. This role will focus on building advanced AI-driven agent systems capable of executing autonomous workflows, orchestrating multi-step tasks, and extending human capacity across enterprise applications. The engineer will be instrumental in designing, building, and scaling next-generation AI agents that integrate with enterprise data and services to solve real-world problems, collaborating with cross-functional teams to transform complex agent concepts into production-ready systems.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and maintain scalable, secure agent-driven services and systems using modern AI frameworks.
- Develop and enhance robust infrastructure and high-throughput APIs for core agent capabilities like memory, communication, skills, decision logic, security, and workflow management.
- Integrate agent capabilities with backend services, data stores, vector databases, search/retrieval systems, and external APIs.
- Collaborate with product managers, AI researchers, data engineers, and UX teams to translate agent use cases into production software.
- Ensure reliability, monitoring, and observability for all agent components, including metrics, logging, CI/CD, and fault tolerance.
- Contribute to architectural design decisions and participate in code reviews to maintain quality and maintainability.
Requirements
- 3+ years of professional software engineering experience with strong proficiency in Python in production environments.
- Proficiency in native agentic coding, demonstrated through daily use of tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and other agentic coding platforms.
- Experience building distributed systems, microservices, or complex backend APIs supporting AI/agent workflows.
- Solid expertise with systems integrating AI models, agent frameworks (e.g., Langraph, Agent Harness), vector databases, and large context reasoning services.
- Understanding of agent orchestration patterns, state management, and asynchronous workflows.
- Experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and operational engineering best practices.
- Good grasp of performance optimization, testing frameworks, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
- Past work on AI agents coordinating multi-step actions, reasoning, or autonomous decision-making loops.
- Contributions to open-source agent toolkits or SDKs.
- Experience with frontend technologies (React, TypeScript) for agent management interfaces.
