Agentic Ai Engineer Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• 6+ years of experience developing, testing, and/or operating production software.
• Experience building and/or operating large-scale distributed or AI-enabled production systems.
• Experience programming with Python or Go.
• Bachelor’s degree plus 10 years of related experience, or master’s degree plus 6 years of related experience, or PhD plus 3 years of related experience.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with LLM and agentic-system concepts including grounding, planning, tool use, memory, human oversight, evaluation, tracing, and regression analysis.
• Demonstrated experience defining AI metrics, building evaluation and experimentation loops, and connecting offline results to production behavior and customer outcomes.
• Experience delivering software across public cloud, on-premises, sovereign cloud, or air-gapped environments.
• Familiarity with SOC, SIEM, detections, incidents, investigations, response, identity, policy, privacy, and auditability.
• Demonstrated success leading cross-team technical initiatives, adopting shared technologies, mentoring senior engineers, and using AI responsibly throughout the software development lifecycle.

Responsibilities

• Shape technical direction and lead ambiguous, cross-team Agentic SOC capabilities from concept through measurable production improvement.
• Design and build reusable capabilities spanning agent runtime, orchestration, governed tool use, context and memory, evaluation systems, trace analysis, and quality gates.
• Translate SOC, SIEM, detection, incident, investigation, and response needs into shared mechanisms in partnership with security-domain experts.
• Design agents and supporting systems for grounded reasoning, planning, delegation, human oversight, traceability, auditability, and safe failure handling.
• Define measurable success criteria for AI capabilities, including task completion, groundedness, tool-use correctness, trajectory quality, human intervention, safety, latency, cost, and reliability.
• Establish closed-loop, metrics-driven development using golden datasets, offline and online evaluations, production traces, SME and customer feedback, experiments, and regression gates.
• Connect AI quality metrics to production behavior and customer outcomes, identifying signals that are incomplete, misleading, or vulnerable to optimization without meaningful improvement.
• Architect for public cloud, on-premises, sovereign cloud, and air-gapped environments, addressing data residency, restricted connectivity, local model and tool availability, packaging, upgrades, and resource constraints.
• Establish patterns for identity propagation, authorization, tenant isolation, policy enforcement, privacy, auditability, and permission-aware actions.
• Evaluate, integrate, and drive adoption of technologies across Splunk and Cisco, contributing security requirements and reusable improvements.
• Leverage AI tools throughout requirements, design, coding, review, testing, documentation, debugging, release, and production improvement, with appropriate human validation and security, privacy, and intellectual-property controls.
• Diagnose failures spanning models, prompts, tools, data, orchestration, services, infrastructure, and product integrations.
• Remain hands-on in implementation and design reviews, raise engineering standards, and mentor and influence senior engineers across teams.
