The Agentic AI Systems Engineer is responsible for building the agentic infrastructure that enables next generation of GenAI applications for Applied Products. The role bridges AI software infrastructure and domain engineering to ensure that agentic systems are secure deterministic and drive velocity and productivity for our products.

What You Will Build

• Skill Pack Framework
  Architect and ship the end-to-end skill framework including authoring versioning distribution and runtime loading across Java Python C and web-based codebases. Skills are the coredifferentiatorencapsulatedexpertise that travels with the agent.
• Multi-Agent Runtime
  Design and implement a multi-agent execution environment with persistent background agents swarm coordination and cross-agent context sharing. Enable agents to operate continuously and in parallel not as one-shot invocations.
• Agent-Aware Code Intelligence
  Develop deep code understanding systems such as semantic code search dependency-aware context modeling and structural codebase analysis. Move beyond text-based retrieval toward true program-level reasoning.

Key Responsibilities:

• Architect design and implement the agent runtime and orchestration platform that enables AI assisted development workflows across Applied products.
• Act as a bridge between AI research capabilities and real production software needs translating emerging agentic patterns into deployable infrastructure.
• Own the end-to-end lifecycle of agentic systems define core abstractions for agents tools memory planning validation and execution ensuring reuse and consistency across teams.
• Partner with teams and develop the MCP platform unifying code documentation and developer lifecycle MCPs into a single dependable context infrastructure.
• Design mechanisms for secure tool access API allow listing and controlled execution against internal systems.
• Establish evaluation frameworks to track correctness latency cost safety events and human override frequency. Build instrumentation for logging metrics and tracing of agent behavior across sessions and workflows.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineering teams adopting agent based workflows.

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong system level thinking with the ability to design end-to-end architectures spanning agents tools memory governance and observability.
• Experience designing agent runtimes or orchestration layers (not just using frameworks).
• Solid system design expertise for highly reliable observable developer-facing services and agentic systems.
• Strong proficiency in at least one major programming language (e.g. Java Python C) with hands-on experience integrating AI/ML models into developer workflows.
• Proven experience building and operating developer tooling or platform infrastructure (SDKs CLIs APIs runtimes) in large-scale engineering environments.
• 7 years of industry relevant experience

Nice-to-Have

• Experience with advanced agentic patterns (multiagent workflows planner/critic loops).
• Hands on exposure to on prem LLM deployment and optimization.
• Practical knowledge of RAG and vector search systems for grounding AI outputs
• Background in security first or high reliability software environments
