AI Engineer – AI Agents & Infrastructure
Summary
Entry-level AI Engineer (0–2 years) at Tilda Research building AI agents and agentic workflows with Python, Go, LLM frameworks, and MCP, alongside backend services, APIs, and cloud infrastructure on GCP/AWS with Kubernetes. Emphasis on guardrails, monitoring, and observability for production AI systems.
What You’ll Do
- Build and enhance AI agents and agentic workflows using Python, Go language, LLMs, and modern AI frameworks.
- Develop backend services, APIs, and integrations that support production AI applications.
- Work with Agent SDKs and Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect agents with tools, data, and services.
- Help build AI guardrails, controls, monitoring, tracing, and observability to make AI applications safer and more reliable.
- Partner with senior AI and software engineers to turn prototypes into scalable, production-ready applications.
- Build and test integrations with GCP/AWS, APIs, databases, and containerized services.
- Experiment with new LLMs, agent frameworks, AI developer tools, and automation technologies.
- Participate in code reviews, testing, debugging, deployment, and technical design discussions.
- Learn how production AI systems are secured, monitored, evaluated, and governed.
- Build, deploy, and operate containerized AI services and agent workloads on Kubernetes in cloud environments such as GCP/AWS.
What We’re Looking For
- Recent graduate or 0–2 years of software engineering experience.
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, AI/ML, Data Science, Computer Engineering, or similar technical discipline.
- Strong programming fundamentals with Python.
- Understanding of APIs, backend development, databases, and basic software architecture.
- Hands-on exposure to LLMs, generative AI, AI agents, or agentic workflows through internships, university projects, research, hackathons, or personal projects.
- Familiarity with at least one AI/LLM framework or SDK such as OpenAI SDK, Anthropic, LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or similar.
- Basic understanding of cloud technologies; GCP/AWS experience is a plus.
- Interest in learning MCP, AI security, guardrails, observability, and agent control systems.
- Exposure to Kubernetes, Docker, and cloud-native application deployment
- Strong problem-solving skills and curiosity about how AI systems work under the hood.
- Comfortable learning quickly and working closely with experienced engineers in a fast-moving environment.
Preferred Qualifications
- Internship, research, or project experience building an AI agent, RAG application, chatbot, copilot, or AI automation.
- Experience with Git, Docker, Linux, REST APIs, SQL/NoSQL, or AWS.
- Exposure to MCP or Agent SDKs.
- Familiarity with prompt engineering, embeddings, vector databases, RAG, or tool/function calling.
- Exposure to AI evaluation, hallucination reduction, security guardrails, or LLM observability.
- Coursework or projects involving machine learning, distributed systems, cloud computing, cybersecurity, or backend engineering.
