• We value experimentation, ownership, and shipping functional prototypes quickly

• Our culture emphasizes collaboration, openness to new ideas, and constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible with AI

Within 3 months, you will:

• Design and prototype agent-to-agent interaction protocols using LLMs like GPT-4 or Claude

• Implement and test agent behavior using LangChain, CrewAI, PydanticAI, or similar stacks

• Collaborate with product manager and data scientists to define system metrics and agent performance indicators

• Deploy your first multi-agent changes into a test environment

Within 6 months, you will:

• Develop scalable orchestration system enabling complex task decomposition among agents

• Run experiments comparing agent behaviors under different prompting and architecture strategies

• Begin integrating external APIs and data pipelines into your agent ecosystem, including systems that support credit unions to fully automate common user queries

Within 9 months, you will:

• As a true teammate, continuously improve the team’s processes, brainstorm ideas, and communicate statuses, and progress

• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to the technical vision of the Gen AI platform.

• Lead and deliver a small-scoped project independently
