Senior AI Agentic Engineer

Genesis
10 is currently seeking a Senior AI Agentic Engineer for a contract position with a Major Financial Institution located in Charlotte, NC and Atlanta, GA. This is a contract to hire opportunity.

The Senior AI Agentic Engineer is a senior, production-focused builder responsible for designing, implementing, and hardening agentic AI systems that operate safely and reliably in a regulated environment. This role sits between the architecture authority and delivery execution, turning reference patterns into repeatable, production-grade implementations across multiple use cases. Success is measured by increased market velocity and AI resilience.

Responsibilities:

• Design and implement production agent workflows using internal reference patterns: single-agent, supervised multi-agent, and tool-using agents with clear human-in-the-loop decision gates
• Build tool integrations to enterprise services and banking systems (APIs, data products, document services) with strong error handling, authorization boundaries, and audit logging
• Engineer RAG pipelines and retrieval behavior that meet accuracy and latency targets for the use case
• Implement agent memory and state management patterns that are compliant and operationally safe
• Create and maintain evaluation harnesses and regression suites for non-deterministic outputs
• Partner with AI Security to implement required guardrails and pass pre-deployment security gates
• Instrument agents for observability: decision traces, tool-call telemetry, retrieval diagnostics, token/cost metrics, and quality signals
• Ship via CI/CD with production readiness: feature flags, rollbacks, versioning, and runbooks
• Use Devin to accelerate delivery while maintaining engineering accountability
• Lead design and code reviews for agent components and mentor junior engineers
• Debug complex failure modes and implement mitigations
• Coordinate with Agent Ops on deployment, monitoring, and incident response

Requirements:

• 5+ years in software engineering with 2+ years building LLM-enabled applications or agent systems in production
• Strong Python proficiency (primary) and working knowledge of Type Script
• Hands-on experience with at least one frontier model platform (Claude, GPT-4+, Gemini) including tool use and multi-turn workflow design
• Production delivery experience: CI/CD, containerization (Docker), and operational readiness (monitoring, logging, incident response)
• Experience implementing and validating RAG systems (vector search, embeddings, retrieval quality) and testing approaches for non-deterministic outputs
• Ability to design for reliability and safety: failure mode thinking, graceful degradation, and clear human escalation paths

Desired skills:

• Experience in regulated financial services (SOX, GLBA, data classification, audit expectations) and partnering with security/risk teams
• Experience with evaluation frameworks and model monitoring practices
• Experience building multi-agent orchestration and constraint systems
• Familiarity with secure software development (threat modeling, SAST/DAST, secrets management) and prompt injection defenses
• Experience integrating AI copilots/agents into developer workflows and using "agentic coding” tools (e.g., Devin) responsibly

Pay range: $89.00 - $99.00 per hour
