WRITER - Software engineer, agents (UK)
Requirements
• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience with strong proficiency (3+ years) in Python in production environments • Proficiency in native agentic coding, demonstrated through the daily use of tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and other agentic coding platforms. • Demonstrated experience building distributed systems, microservices, or complex backend APIs that support AI/agent workflows. • Solid expertise with systems that integrate AI models, agent frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, Agent Harness or platform-specific tooling), vector databases, and large context reasoning services. • Understanding of agent orchestration patterns, state management, and asynchronous workflows. • Experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and operational engineering best practices. • Good grasp of performance optimization, testing frameworks, and CI/CD pipelines. • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a “connect + challenge + own” mindset. • Past work on AI agents that coordinate multi-step actions, reasoning, or autonomous decision-making loops. • Contributions to open-source agent toolkits or SDKs. • Experience with frontend technologies (React, TypeScript) for tooling around agent management interfaces.
Responsibilities
• Design, implement, and maintain scalable, secure agent-driven services and systems that autonomously accomplish tasks using modern AI frameworks. • Develop and enhance robust infrastructure and high-throughput APIs, focusing on core agent capabilities such as memory, communication channels, skills, intelligent decision logic, security and workflow management. • Integrate agent capabilities with backend services, data stores, vector databases, search/retrieval systems, and external APIs. • Collaborate with product managers, AI researchers, data engineers, and UX teams to translate high-level agent use cases into robust, production-ready software. • Ensure reliability, monitoring, and observability for all agent components (metrics, logging, CI/CD, fault tolerance). • Contribute to architectural design decisions and participate in rigorous code reviews to uphold quality and maintainability.
Benefits
• Generous PTO, plus company holidays • Comprehensive medical and dental insurance • Paid parental leave for all parents (16 weeks) • Fertility and family planning support • Competitive pension scheme and company contribution • Annual work-life stipends for: • Wellness stipend for gym, massage/chiropractor, personal training, etc. • Learning and development stipend • Company-wide off-sites and team off-sites • Competitive compensation and company stock options
