The Agentic AI Development Engineer joins a cybersecurity team to build a next-generation AI-driven operations platform for high-stakes workflows. This role involves end-to-end ownership of complex system features, where you will architect and scale AI agents and backend systems for real-time operational workloads. You will integrate LLMs and GenAI components into production, managing fine-tuning, prompt orchestration, retrieval pipelines, and evaluation loops. Key responsibilities include designing robust data flows like event streams and message queues to support SOC/NOC capabilities. Required technical skills include proficiency in Python or Go, REST/WebSocket/GraphQL APIs, and databases like Postgres or graph stores. You will also utilize RAG, multi-agent systems, and guardrails to deliver trustworthy AI. Experience with JavaScript, TypeScript, and React is also preferred for building data-heavy dashboards.

What you'll do

  • Architect and implement scalable AI agent and backend systems for high-volume, real-time operational workloads.
  • Integrate LLMs and GenAI components into production workflows, including fine-tuning, prompt orchestration, and retrieval pipelines.
  • Design and implement robust data flows such as event streams, message queues, and job orchestration.
  • Build resilient real-time user experiences including dashboards, streaming data visualization, and multi-user collaboration tools.
  • Define clear contracts between AI services, backend APIs, and frontend clients.
  • Deliver trustworthy AI by implementing streaming responses with structured outputs, redaction, and guardrails.
  • Productionize models and optimize inference pipelines in partnership with AI/ML engineers.

What we're looking for

  • BS degree with 5+ years of backend/full-stack experience, MS with 3+ years, or PhD with 0+ years in high-availability systems.
  • Proven track record shipping data-intensive and AI-enhanced applications at scale.
  • Proficiency in at least one modern backend language like Python or Go and associated frameworks.
  • Strong background in designing REST, WebSocket, or GraphQL APIs and integrating with real-time/event-driven systems.
  • Deep understanding of databases, distributed systems, scalability, and observability best practices.
  • Hands-on experience building or integrating AI systems in production (preferred).
  • Proficiency with modern JavaScript/TypeScript and a component-based framework like React (preferred).
