Are you fascinated by the power of AI agents to transform how engineering teams work? Do you thrive in a high-velocity environment where you can build, test, and iterate on wild ideas in days rather than months? We are looking for AI Agentic Development Engineers to join and build a new Applied AI team. In this role, you won't just be maintaining legacy systems, you will be the ultimate accelerator for our cross-functional engineering teams.

Your mission is to design, develop, and deploy rapid prototypes of AI-driven tools and agentic workflows that automate complex tasks, eliminate friction, and radically optimize our engineering processes. We operate on a philosophy of learning fast, failing fast, and delivering faster. If you are a bias-for-action developer who thinks outside the box and measures success by working code and measurable efficiency gains, we want you to be on our team.

This is an individual contributor role and the selected candidate will have the opportunity to work a hybrid schedule.

• Help design and build simple prototypes (early versions) of AI-powered tools and automation solutions
• Partner closely with Product Engineering teams to deeply understand their workflows, identify bottlenecks, and embed AI solutions where they matter most.
• Use AI tools and frameworks (like ChatGPT-style models or similar platforms) to create helpful workflows and automate everyday tasks
• Help improve and streamline engineering processes by identifying inefficiencies and suggesting solutions
• Participate in testing new ideas by quickly building, trying, and improving prototypes
• Embrace a fail-fast approach — short cycles, quick learning, and moving on with better information
• Support the setup and deployment of tools, including helping manage environments where solutions run
• Evaluate tools and models through hands-on use, not benchmarks alone
• Help identify what scales and what doesn't based on real-world deployment behavior
• Document validated patterns that contribute to the team's shared AI use case library

• 1+ years of related experience (or equivalent hands-on projects)
• Familiarity with AI tools and large language models (like ChatGPT or similar) and how they can be used in applications
• Working knowledge of programming languages such as Python or Type Script
• Some experience connecting systems using APIs or web tools (for example, integrating with tools like Slack, Git Hub, or Jira)
• Basic understanding of how data is used in AI solutions, including concepts like prompts, embeddings, or search-based responses
• Exposure to automation tools or platforms (such as workflow builders or similar technologies)
• Strong problem solving/analytical skills, where problems are complex
• Excellent oral & written communication skills
• Strong interpersonal skills
• Conflict resolution & risk escalation skills
• Demonstrated leadership potential or experience working in a team environment
• General understanding of how products are developed from idea to release
• Awareness of technical & commercial aspects
