AI Engineer at Authority Partners – Remote | Jobyssey

About the Role

You will design and ship AI-native products, from agentic workflow design through production operation. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who can own a system end to end and bring real production discipline to agentic AI work.

What we expect

5+ years of experience delivering production software end to end: backend, API, frontend, deployment, and operations.
Depth in at least one ecosystem (.NET, TypeScript, Python, or JVM) and a track record of becoming productive in another. We are deliberately stack-agnostic, but not looking for a generalist without depth.
Proven design of agentic workflows: decomposing a task into steps an agent can complete reliably, deciding what belongs in the model versus deterministic code, and choosing between a single agent, a graph, and a plain pipeline.
Practical command of the building blocks: tool and function calling, MCP-based integrations, orchestration frameworks (LangGraph, Semantic Kernel, Microsoft Agent Framework, or equivalent), state and memory across steps, and retrieval where it earns its place.
Designs agents that fail safely: no duplicated side effects when a call is retried, hard limits on steps and spend, confirmation before irreversible actions, and validation between steps so one bad result does not propagate through the run.
Measures agent quality against a repeatable set of test cases rather than impressions, and traces every step of a run to find where it went wrong.
Fluency in AI-assisted development with disciplined review of generated code. You read the full diff, question unnecessary abstractions, and remove what does not belong.
Ownership of the practices that make rapid delivery safe: automated tests, type safety, CI gates, small reviewable pull requests, and a clear definition of done.
Visible influence on team quality through code review, technical conventions, and mentoring.
