TL;DR · Software Engineering 5, Ads Agent (Agentic Platform for Enterprise)

Software Engineering 5 - Ads Agent (Agentic Platform for Enterprise) joins the Ads Platform Foundations team to build core platform primitives for an agentic platform. The role involves designing and building an agent framework, tool registry, orchestration runtime, memory, retrieval infrastructure, and evaluation harnesses. You will define APIs and SDKs so domain teams can integrate enterprise use cases without rebuilding core infrastructure. Key responsibilities include iterating on function-calling frameworks, planning layers, and exploring entity knowledge graphs as a shared grounding layer. Required skills include hands-on GenAI experience in enterprise contexts, production-grade backend engineering, and experience with tool calling, orchestration, and retrieval-augmented generation. You will work on building the foundational technical backbone that provides reliability and velocity for various ads domain teams.

What you'll do

  • Design and build core platform primitives including agent frameworks, orchestration runtimes, and retrieval infrastructure.
  • Define APIs, SDKs, and integration patterns for domain teams to plug in non-coding use cases.
  • Build and iterate on tool-calling frameworks, planning layers, and memory subsystems.
  • Explore and develop entity/knowledge graphs to serve as a shared grounding layer for agents.
  • Own platform reliability, evaluation tooling, and safety guardrails for all inherited agent systems.
  • Partner with domain teams to translate specific use cases into platform building blocks and roadmaps.
  • Rapidly prototype and ship new platform primitives through tight iteration cycles.

What we're looking for

  • Must have real, hands-on GenAI experience in enterprise contexts.
  • Must have experience building platforms, frameworks, or SDKs consumed by other engineering teams.
  • Must have a track record of high shipping velocity and building new systems quickly.
  • Must have strong software engineering fundamentals in production-grade systems, API/SDK design, and backend engineering.
  • Must have experience with agent-system building blocks like tool/function calling, orchestration, RAG, and prompt engineering.
  • Experience with entity/knowledge graphs, graph databases, or graph-augmented RAG (preferred).
  • Experience with agent frameworks like SpringAI, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, or AutoGen (preferred).
  • Experience in ads/marketing tech or familiarity with LLM evaluation frameworks (preferred).
