AI Agent Engineer (Applied AI)

TL;DR

AI Agent Engineer (Applied AI): Build AI agents that power an agentic platform for industrial supply chain workflows, with an accent on frontier LLM tool use, orchestration, and production-grade evaluation. Focus on designing agent harnesses, integrating with WMS/TMS/ERP systems, and shipping autonomous agent capabilities that improve real operational outcomes.

Company

hirify.global builds an AI operating layer for the industrial supply chain.

What you will do

• Build production AI agent systems (harnesses, evals, orchestration, and model strategy) that run inside customers’ supply chain workflows.
• Design and ship agent harnesses on top of frontier models, including tool use, sub-agents, retrieval, structured outputs, MCP servers, and orchestration.
• Own evaluation end-to-end using datasets from real traces, rubrics/graders, experiments, and measurable improvements.
• Architect the data, services, and APIs the agent layer depends on by integrating internal systems with customers’ WMS, TMS, and ERP environments.
• Codify repeatable deployment patterns to accelerate new customer rollouts.

Requirements

• 1+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record shipping LLM- or agent-based features to production.
• Strong in Python and/or TypeScript/Node.js; comfortable designing APIs, distributed systems, and data models in PostgreSQL.
• Hands-on experience with production-scale agent stack: prompt engineering, evaluation frameworks, and orchestration patterns.
• Experience building in fast, ambiguous environments (ideally in an AI/AI-agent/data-product company).
• Excellent written and verbal communication, including the ability to run customer workshops and write clear design documentation.
