Responsibilities

• Advances Nitrogen's AI capabilities with your expertise designing and shipping agentic systems into production use
• Owns the successful delivery of AI features end-to-end: from agent design and orchestration, through evaluation and hardening, to reliable production systems advisors depend on
• Builds the foundations that make agents dependable: memory systems, evaluation frameworks, and the patterns that improve agent decisions at scale
• Sets a high bar for technical productivity through deep, fluent, and consistently advancing use of agentic AI developer tools
• Pioneers AI-augmented engineering practices on the team, including prompts, harness configurations, and multi-agent orchestration, and shares them so the whole team moves faster
• Delivers high-quality, production-grade features at a velocity that meaningfully exceeds traditional engineering throughput, while reliably meeting commitments
• Provides architectural leadership across AI systems and the services and data flows that support them
• Maintains a deep understanding of what our domain-specific data means to our customers and their product experience
• Proactively identifies and addresses technical debt and developer experience gaps, advocating for AI-enhanced solutions
• Mentors and elevates the technical skills of fellow engineers, particularly in building and shipping AI systems
• Demonstrates a continuous improvement mindset in both personal development and all technical workflows

Skills

• Agentic Engineering. You operate at the leading edge of AI-augmented engineering. Tools like Claude Code, Devin, and Cursor are core to how you build, not adjuncts to a traditional workflow. You direct multiple agents in parallel and use them to amplify staff-level judgment rather than replace it
• AI Systems & Products. You've shipped AI systems into production use, not just prototypes. You build agentic workflows, agent memory, and orchestration, and you know what it takes to make them reliable, observable, and safe for real users
• Evaluation & Quality at Scale. You deeply understand the evaluation frameworks that improve agent decisions at scale. You design evals, measure agent behavior rigorously, and turn those signals into systems that get measurably better over time
• AI Tooling & Frameworks. You're fluent with the frameworks that power modern AI systems, including LangChain, LangGraph, GraphQL, and MCP. You evaluate and adopt new tools faster than your peers and can articulate where each one fits
• AI-Native Productivity. You demonstrably ship more, with higher quality, than traditional throughput allows. You've internalized the disciplines that make agentic tooling pay off: clear specs, tight feedback loops, rigorous review of agent output, and deliberate context engineering
• Experience. You bring 8+ years of hands-on engineering experience, with substantial depth building production systems and the judgment to know how data engines and pipelines work inside and out
• Technical Leadership. You are a trusted technical authority that others turn to for solving the most challenging problems and making high-impact decisions. You've given tech talks internally or at conferences. You actively mentor others, reduce knowledge silos, and raise the team's overall capability
• Data Fluency. You're comfortable with SQL & Python in Snowflake & dbt and the realities of messy real-world data. Experience with CDC, APIs, and services such as DMS, OpenFlow, Kafka, or similar is a strong plus
