We’re looking for people who meet the minimum requirements for this role. The preferred qualifications are great to have, but are not mandatory
5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong proficiency in backend languages such as Python, Go, Java, or Kotlin
Infrastructure and cloud knowledge: Practical experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Aliyun), container orchestration (Kubernetes), infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), and CI/CD systems. You understand the domain the agents will operate in
Strong system design skills with the ability to architect reliable, safe, and scalable agent systems that interact with production infrastructure
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a track record of working effectively across cross-functional teams in a global environment
Hands-on experience building agentic AI systems: You have designed and built AI agents that autonomously plan, reason, and execute multi-step tasks using LLMs. This includes agent loop design, tool-use orchestration, and managing agent state and memory. This is a core requirement, not a nice-to-have
Experience with agent orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or custom agent frameworks) and LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
Experience with observability and monitoring systems (Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog, ELK stack) — either building them or building agents that interact with them
Experience with database administration or automation (schema migrations, query optimization, backup/recovery) — knowledge that helps build effective DBA agents
Understanding of SRE practices: incident response, runbooks, postmortems, SLOs/SLIs — the operational domain these agents will automate
A forward-thinking mindset about where AI agents are headed. You have opinions on agent reliability, safety, evaluation, and the path toward increasingly autonomous infrastructure systems
