Senior Software Engineer – AI Agent Implementation (Python)

Role Objective

Responsible for analyzing, designing, developing, maintaining, and ensuring the quality, reliability, and observability of artificial intelligence agents implemented in Python, within a previously defined architectural framework.  This is a highly hands-on role, execution-focused, with technical autonomy to define agent behavior, flows, orchestration, and tools, while supporting and guiding other team members when required.

Key Roles, Responsibilities, and Functions

• Implement AI agents primarily in Python, following established architectural principles and guidelines
  Translate product requirements and workflow definitions into concrete agent behaviors

• Design and implement agent flows based on graphs, state machines, and/or tool-based orchestration frameworks
  Define and develop state transitions, error handling, retries, and failure recovery mechanisms

• Integrate agents with internal tools, APIs, external services, and structured data sources
  Ensure agents are observable, testable, and production-ready (logs, metrics, traces)

• Design and implement unit tests, integration tests, and agent behavior tests
  Verify correct execution of automated tests and keep them aligned with code evolution

• Collaborate with product, platform, and architecture teams to validate assumptions and technical decisions
  Rapidly iterate on agents based on real usage, feedback, and operational metrics

• Document technical and process-related aspects (agent flow diagrams, technical decisions, README files, internal documentation)
  Actively participate in code reviews and serve as a technical reference for best practices

• Define and adhere to quality standards, maintainability, and code structure related to agent development
   

Key Accountability Areas

• Achievement of technical and delivery objectives
  Correct and stable implementation of AI agents in production

• Code quality, maintainability, and clarity of Python code
  Observability and reliability of agent behavior

• Compliance with service-level agreements
  Effective collaboration with internal teams and stakeholders
