Job Description

Staff AI Builder designing and shipping production GenAI systems for Robots and Pencils’ enterprise clients. Leading agentic AI, RAG, AWS architecture, reliability, and technical mentoring.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead the design and delivery of AI/ML systems
  • Define AI architecture and lead model development and optimization
  • Design and build agentic workflows, including reasoning loops, tool/function calling, and single- and multi-agent orchestration
  • Build and maintain RAG pipelines with chunking, embeddings, OpenSearch vector search, re-ranking, and refresh handling
  • Integrate AWS Bedrock and Agent Core, including MCP-based tool design
  • Write and iterate on production system prompts
  • Build evaluation and observability into agents using golden datasets, RAGAS-style metrics, LLM-as-judge, and tracing
  • Design for LLM failures using retries, backoff, circuit breakers, fallback models, and user-facing degradation handling
  • Build backend services in Python and Node.js, including AWS Lambda and API Gateway serverless architectures
  • Design DynamoDB single-table schemas for conversation state, agent memory, and session history
  • Support event-driven orchestration with Step Functions, SQS, and EventBridge
  • Contribute to frontend integration points and write clean, tested code across the stack
  • Support deployment, monitoring, and production troubleshooting in AWS and Docker environments
  • Partner with product, design, and delivery leads across global teams to scope and ship features end-to-end
  • Mentor engineers and improve agentic engineering practices, including use of Claude Code
  • Own features and releases end-to-end, including debugging, hardening, and production reliability

Requirements:

  • 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, including meaningful time shipping GenAI/LLM-powered systems in production
  • Hands-on depth in agentic AI, including reasoning loops, tool/function calling, and multi-agent orchestration
  • Practical RAG expertise, including chunking strategies, embeddings, vector databases such as OpenSearch or similar, cosine similarity search, and re-ranking
  • Experience building evaluation and observability for LLM systems, including golden datasets, LLM-as-judge, RAGAS or comparable metrics, and LangFuse/LangSmith or similar tracing tools
  • Strong prompt engineering skills
  • Hands-on experience with the AWS GenAI stack: Bedrock, Agent Core, Lambda, DynamoDB single-table design, S3, SQS, EventBridge, and Step Functions
  • Strong Python and Node.js skills
  • Experience building full-stack applications and RESTful APIs
  • Understanding of production reliability patterns for LLM-backed systems, including retries/backoff, circuit breakers, and fallback models
  • Experience with Docker and cloud-native deployment
  • Ability to own ambiguous, integration-heavy problems and provide technically deep answers
  • Helpful extras: direct Bedrock Agent Core experience; regulated or high-stakes domain experience; workflow orchestration familiarity; production LLM observability experience
