Job Description
In this role, you’ll work on AI-powered, autonomous product experiences, collaborating closely with product managers, designers, and AI/ML engineers to bring intelligent agents to life in production. This is a true product engineering role—you’ll own features end-to-end and see your work used globally at scale.
We’re looking for a Software Engineer to help build Eightfold’s next generation of Agentic AI product features. In this role, you’ll design and implement high-impact frontend and backend product experiences used by millions of users globally.
You’ll work closely with Product, Design, and AI/ML teams to turn intelligent systems into intuitive, scalable, and reliable product features. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on shipping production-grade software, not research or experimentation-only work.
What You’ll Do
- Build and ship AI-powered product features using LLMs, NLP, and agent-based workflows
- Develop backend services and APIs that support model inference, orchestration, and tool execution
- Implement LLM workflows, including pipelines, retrieval (RAG) systems, and goal-oriented agent behaviors
- Work closely with Product Managers and Designers to turn AI-driven ideas into working features
- Collaborate with ML engineers to integrate, evaluate, and productionize models
- Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code
- Participate in code reviews and contribute to technical discussion
- Help improve system performance, reliability, and scalability
What We’re Looking For
- 1-2 years of professional software engineering experience
- Strong experience building backend or full-stack applications
- Proficiency in Python and at least one other language (Java, Go, or TypeScript)
- Hands-on experience integrating LLMs, NLP, or ML-powered features
- Familiarity with APIs, distributed systems, and backend services
- Understanding of prompting, embeddings, and model inference
- Solid software engineering fundamentals (testing, debugging, system design)
- Product mindset with a focus on real-world impact and usability
Nice to Haves
- Experience with agentic systems, workflows, or orchestration frameworks
- Exposure to RAG Architecture Design & Evaluation
- Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
- Experience working in AI-first or fast-moving product teams
