TL;DR · Senior Computer Scientist

JOB TITLE: Senior Computer Scientist The Senior AI Architect joins the Commerce Factory team to lead the architecture for the Agent Harness and Learning Layer. This role focuses on building systems that enable autonomous agents to understand goals, plan tasks, and improve through feedback loops. You will design evaluation pipelines to capture quality signals, translate them into prompt updates, and manage reward modeling. Key responsibilities include developing prototypes, establishing architecture standards, and mentoring engineers. The role requires expertise in Python, cloud platforms like AWS or Azure, and data pipeline technologies. You must apply machine learning techniques such as reinforcement learning, preference learning, and RLHF to solve complex problems within the agentic software development lifecycle, specifically focusing on tool use, context management, and execution loops to improve agentic reliability and productivity.

What you'll do

  • Define the architecture for agent learning and feedback systems to evaluate outcomes and capture quality signals.
  • Design pipelines to translate quality signals into prompt updates, routing changes, and reward data.
  • Apply machine learning techniques including preference learning, reward modeling, and reinforcement learning to production systems.
  • Integrate the Learning Layer with the Agent Harness, evaluation infrastructure, skills layer, and context management.
  • Establish architecture standards through design documents, technology evaluations, and build-versus-buy decisions.
  • Develop prototypes and proof-of-concepts using current AI models and agent frameworks to test production scalability.
  • Mentor engineers through design reviews, code reviews, and the creation of technical documentation.
  • Translate business goals into a clear technical roadmap and executable architecture for platform stakeholders.

What we're looking for

  • 12+ years of software engineering experience, including designing and architecting AI, ML, or data-intensive systems at scale.
  • Experience crafting and delivering LLM and agentic systems, including tool use, context management, and output evaluation.
  • Experience with reinforcement learning, preference learning, RLHF, or reward modeling applied to production systems.
  • Experience designing evaluation and learning systems that connect agent actions to measurable outcomes and feedback signals.
  • Demonstrated ability to translate ambiguous business or technical objectives into clear architecture and execution plans.
  • Experience applying AI or machine learning to products or platforms with measurable results in quality, reliability, or cost efficiency.
  • Experience providing technical leadership through architecture reviews, technical standards, and mentoring engineering teams.
  • Proficiency in Python and at least one additional programming language.
  • Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure, data pipeline technologies, and ML experimentation infrastructure.
