tem - Senior Staff Engineer - Agentic
Requirements
• You own the problem as well as the solution: you've worked directly with business stakeholders to define what gets built, perhaps as a technical product lead, tech lead or engineering manager, and you don't expect a spec. • You've built and maintained production agentic systems with real consequence, including multi-agent systems and MCP servers used by real people for real work. • You have depth in RAG: you've built retrieval systems, compared approaches against requirements, and have opinions on what suits which case. • You evaluate systematically, with realistic labelled cases that include failure and permission boundaries, and you know when an agent is ready for production. • You have sound reliability and security judgement: where to enforce permissions and human approval, and how to persist task state and recover safely. • You lead agents, not people: you already orchestrate several agents in parallel, and you can review code, make architectural calls and spot where a system will fail, without coding day to day. • Customer-facing agents that have run in production for months, not weeks. • A significant internal process you transformed with agents, ideally on your own initiative. • DevOps or CI/CD workflows moved onto agents. • Advanced retrieval experience, such as graph RAG or agentic RAG.
Responsibilities
• Own agent delivery into several Engines and Services at once, from first discovery conversation to measured time saved. • Set the architecture for how we use retrieval, orchestration, MCP tools, identity and evaluation across agentic work. • Run several workstreams in parallel by leading agents, holding their output to production standards. • Become the person teams want in the room when deciding what to automate. • Help teams across tem build and operate their own agents well. • Find the work: Work with Engines and Services to map how their processes really run, and decide which parts to automate, rebuild or leave alone. • Turn ambiguity into plans: Turn messy requirements into clear architecture and delivery plans that stakeholders understand and agents can execute. • Prioritise honestly: Weigh competing demands from across tem and make the trade-offs explicit before committing. • Design for reliability: Own the architecture across concurrent workstreams, with evaluation, access controls, recovery and human approval designed in from the start. • Prove the impact: Instrument what you ship so the time saved is visible, and say so when something isn't moving the number. • Raise the bar across tem: Codify recurring business logic into reusable building blocks, and help teams build and run their own agents well through design reviews, shared patterns and clear handovers.
