About The Position

As a Staff Software Developer on Auvik’s AI & Platform team, you’ll be a hands-on technical leader building the AI-powered capabilities in our product. You’ll work alongside a Staff Data Engineer (who owns the data foundation) and report to the Engineering Manager. Your focus is on the application and agentic AI layer: designing, building, and shipping the AI features that customers interact with. This is a code-heavy role with broad technical influence across the team.

Requirements

• Strong software engineering fundamentals with significant experience building and shipping production systems at scale.
• Hands-on experience building AI/ML-powered product features, including working with LLMs, prompt engineering, RAG architectures, or agent frameworks.
• Proficiency in Go, Scala, or TypeScript (React/GraphQL). Experience with Python for ML workflows is a plus.
• Deep understanding of system design, distributed systems, and the ability to make sound architectural decisions in ambiguous problem spaces.
• Hands-on experience with agentic coding tools (e.g., Cursor, Copilot Workspace, Claude Code), including setting guardrails and verifying outputs.
• Strong communication skills. You’ll work directly with AI engineers, product managers, and engineering leadership and need to move fluidly between technical and business conversations.
• A product mindset. You care about why something is being built and whether it solves a real customer problem.

Nice To Haves

• Background in network management, monitoring, or infrastructure software.
• Experience with AI-driven automation, anomaly detection, or predictive analytics in an ops context.

Responsibilities

• Design and build AI-powered product features, including LLM-based agents, intelligent automation, and predictive capabilities that operate on Auvik’s operational data.
• Own complex technical problems end-to-end: architect solutions, write production-quality code, debug across systems, and ship reliably.
• Work closely with the Data Engineer to define what data the AI layer needs, in what shape, and at what freshness, and integrate against the retrieval and pipeline infrastructure they build.
• Collaborate with product managers and designers to translate customer needs into well-scoped AI features that deliver real value.
• Evaluate and integrate emerging AI technologies (LLMs, agent frameworks, RAG patterns, fine-tuning approaches) and make pragmatic build-vs-buy decisions.
• Lead by example in code reviews, technical design discussions, and engineering best practices. Mentor other developers on the team.
• Contribute to shared tooling, libraries, and patterns that accelerate AI development across the engineering org.
