TL;DR · Staff AI Solutions Engineer

The Staff AI Solutions Engineer joins the Data Engineering team to own the AI technical vision across the portfolio. This role involves evolving the governed agent layer, strategy-optimization engine, and simulation environment. You will make architectural decisions, write design documents, and translate complex tradeoffs into actionable plans. Key responsibilities include integrating agent layers into the data engineering SDLC, building environments for agentic engineering, and maturing offline simulation environments to pre-screen product hypotheses. You will utilize Python, AWS, and Databricks to build production LLM applications featuring agent orchestration, tool calling, and retrieval. The role requires expertise in deterministic scoring, search over strategy spaces, and optimization. You will solve business problems by defining action spaces, objective weights, and risk tolerance within a heavily regulated industry.

What you'll do

  • Define and evolve the technical vision for the governed agent layer, strategy-optimization engine, and simulation environment.
  • Write design documents and decision records to translate technical tradeoffs into actionable plans for other teams.
  • Integrate the agent layer into the data engineering SDLC to automate ticket routing, planning, and building.
  • Build the infrastructure for agentic engineering, including skills, specs, context scaffolding, and shared memory.
  • Advance the strategy-optimization engine into a production capability for business metrics like promotional spend and ranking.
  • Develop and mature an offline simulation environment to pre-screen product hypotheses against synthetic personas.
  • Decompose strategic directions into specific specs and tickets that individual engineers can own end-to-end.
  • Mentor engineers across global pods and represent the team technically with vendors and external partners.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of software, machine learning, or AI engineering experience, including technical leadership of a system other engineers built on.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, a related technical field, or equivalent industry experience.
  • Expert-level Python in production settings, including typing, testing, packaging, and performance awareness.
  • Production LLM application experience including agent orchestration, tool and function calling, structured output handling, and retrieval.
  • Hands-on experience using agentic coding harnesses and designing skills, context, tool access, and memory for them.
  • Strong optimization and experimentation background including search over strategy spaces, deterministic scoring, and A/B design.
  • Cloud-native engineering on AWS and hands-on work in a modern data platform such as Databricks.
  • Knowledge of sports and/or experience working within a heavily regulated industry (preferred).
