You will work on building and improving AI-powered agents that support a wide range of functions, including software development, fleet operations, and business processes. This is a unique opportunity to experiment with the latest advancements in large language models (LLMs), agent frameworks, and autonomous workflows, while delivering practical impact in a real-world environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and iterate on AI agents that automate engineering, operational, and business workflows

• Develop integrations between LLMs and internal systems, tools, and data sources

• Implement agent workflows involving planning, tool usage, memory, and multi-step reasoning

• Experiment with prompt engineering, evaluation techniques, and model optimization strategies

• Build backend services and APIs to support scalable deployment of AI agents

• Collaborate with engineers and cross-functional teams to identify high-impact automation opportunities

• Evaluate and benchmark emerging AI agent frameworks, models, and tools

• Contribute to internal platforms that enable rapid development and deployment of AI-powered solutions

Qualifications

Required:

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field

• Strong programming skills in Python (preferred) or other languages such as Go, Java, or JavaScript/TypeScript

• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and software engineering fundamentals

• Familiarity with machine learning or large language models (through coursework, projects, or internships)

• Strong curiosity about AI systems and eagerness to explore new technologies

Preferred:

• Hands-on experience with LLM APIs (e.g., OpenAI, open-source models) or agent frameworks (LangChain, AutoGen, etc.)

• Experience building backend systems, APIs, or distributed systems

• Familiarity with prompt engineering, RAG (retrieval-augmented generation), or vector databases

• Exposure to evaluation methods for AI systems (benchmarks, metrics, human-in-the-loop feedback)

• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) or containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)

• Interest in applying AI to real-world problems such as automation, productivity, and decision-making
