Senior Software Engineer – AI Agent Implementation (Python)

Role Objective

Responsible for analyzing designing developing maintaining and ensuring the quality reliability and observability of artificial intelligence agents implemented in Python within a previously defined architectural framework.  This is a highly hands-on role execution-focused with technical autonomy to define agent behavior flows orchestration and tools while supporting and guiding other team members when required.

Key Roles Responsibilities and Functions

• Implement AI agents primarily in Python following established architectural principles and guidelines
  Translate product requirements and workflow definitions into concrete agent behaviors

• Design and implement agent flows based on graphs state machines and/or tool-based orchestration frameworks
  Define and develop state transitions error handling retries and failure recovery mechanisms

• Integrate agents with internal tools APIs external services and structured data sources
  Ensure agents are observable testable and production-ready (logs metrics traces)

• Design and implement unit tests integration tests and agent behavior tests
  Verify correct execution of automated tests and keep them aligned with code evolution

• Collaborate with product platform and architecture teams to validate assumptions and technical decisions
  Rapidly iterate on agents based on real usage feedback and operational metrics

• Document technical and process-related aspects (agent flow diagrams technical decisions README files internal documentation)
  Actively participate in code reviews and serve as a technical reference for best practices

• Define and adhere to quality standards maintainability and code structure related to agent development
   

Key Accountability Areas

• Achievement of technical and delivery objectives
  Correct and stable implementation of AI agents in production

• Code quality maintainability and clarity of Python code
  Observability and reliability of agent behavior

• Compliance with service-level agreements
  Effective collaboration with internal teams and stakeholders
