AI Summary

This AI Agent Engineer role builds, operates, evaluates, and retires autonomous AI agents that improve internal performance and customer outcomes. The engineer will partner with department leaders to identify high-value use cases, integrate agents with internal and third-party tools, and measure business results. Core technical expectations include experience with autonomous agents, frontier and open-source models, Go, TypeScript, GraphQL, Postgres, and GCP. The position requires strong written English and the ability to translate AI capabilities into practical solutions for non-specialist stakeholders. It is a fully remote, full-time engineering role with significant ownership over experimentation and production adoption.

Sample interview questions
Describe an autonomous AI agent you built that performed meaningful work without continuous human intervention.

I would explain the business problem, the agent's permitted actions, tools and data sources, orchestration logic, guardrails, and escalation path. I would also quantify outcomes such as time saved, accuracy, throughput, cost, or user adoption, and describe how I monitored failures.

How would you identify the best department to receive an AI agent first?

I would interview stakeholders and map repetitive, high-volume, measurable workflows with accessible data and a clear owner. I would prioritize use cases by expected impact, implementation effort, operational risk, and the ability to run a controlled pilot with baseline metrics.

How would you evaluate whether an agent should be improved, constrained, or removed?

I would define task-specific success metrics before launch, including completion quality, error rate, human-review rate, latency, cost, and business impact. I would compare results with a baseline, review failure patterns, and remove or redesign the agent if it cannot meet a justified quality and ROI threshold.

What design practices would you use to connect an LLM agent safely to internal and third-party tools?

I would apply least-privilege credentials, allowlisted actions, structured tool schemas, input validation, audit logs, rate limits, approval gates for consequential actions, and robust retry and rollback behavior. I would test adversarial and malformed inputs and ensure sensitive data is minimized and protected.

How do you decide among Grok, Claude, OpenAI models, and open-source models for a production agent?

I would benchmark candidate models on representative tasks using quality, reliability, latency, cost, context requirements, tool-use behavior, privacy constraints, and operational support. I would select the model that best meets the agent's measurable requirements and maintain an evaluation suite to reassess choices as models change.
