About the role

Senior software engineer to help build the C3 Agentic AI Platform, the system for observing, reasoning, deciding, and acting on live operational data with a focus on accuracy, performance, and safety in production AI applications across industries.

Responsibilities

  • Architect and build the systems, tools, and frameworks that let data scientists and developers create, deploy, and operate agentic AI applications on the C3 Agentic AI Platform — applying sound design principles to ground agents in governed enterprise data and run them on reliable, scalable runtimes and end-to-end pipelines in a distributed system.
  • Advance agent accuracy: build the evaluations, grounding, and feedback loops that measure and improve correctness, reduce hallucination, and track override rates in production.
  • Drive agent performance: optimize latency, throughput, scalability, and inference cost across the platform.
  • Strengthen agent safety: implement inherited permissions, guardrails, human-approval and escalation paths, auditability, and rollback so that autonomy stays bounded and is earned one workflow at a time.
  • Collaborate with and support data scientists to understand the utility of the C3 Agentic AI Platform and define new requirements.
  • Work with product owners to define and lead the development of longer-term platform capabilities.
  • Mentor junior members of the team.

Qualifications

  • Advanced degree in computer science, math, or a similar field.
  • Strong command of software architecture and design principles, with a track record of designing scalable, reliable, and maintainable systems and making architectural trade-offs deliberately.
  • Thorough knowledge of data structures, algorithms, profiling/optimization, and Object-Oriented and Functional Programming.
  • Strong programming skills in Java, Python, and JavaScript.
  • High proficiency with agentic coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) — orchestrate engineering workflows across multiple agents, decompose work, delegate, coordinate, and review output for bugs, security issues, and architectural drift.
  • In-depth understanding of machine learning algorithms; familiarity with LLMs and AI agent architectures is a strong plus.
  • Proven track record of applying machine learning or AI in a production system.
  • Demonstrated end-to-end ownership of projects, including making key design decisions and understanding tradeoffs.
  • A minimum of 5 years of work experience in a fast-paced software company.
