Senior Agentic (AI) Engineer at Worth AI in Orlando, FL

Worth AI is hiring a Senior Agentic AI Engineer to design and ship production agent systems that automate KYB, underwriting, and risk decisions on regulated financial data. You’ll own agents end-to-end architecture, retrieval, tools, evals, and production deployment and partner closely with our Chief AI Officer, applied scientists, and platform teams.

Responsibilities

• Design and ship multi-step agentic systems (planner/executor, tool-using, multi-agent, human-in-the-loop) for onboarding, underwriting, case review, and continuous monitoring.

• Architect agent graphs in LangGraph (or comparable — CrewAI, AutoGen, Claude Agent SDK) with explicit state, durable execution, retries, and safe fallbacks.

• Build the retrieval layer powering our agents — chunking, hybrid search, reranking, and grounded citation.

• Own the eval stack: golden sets, offline regression suites, LLM-as-judge, online A/B and shadow evals, and red-teaming for jailbreaks, prompt injection, and PII leakage.

• Expose agents to production systems via well-typed tools and MCP servers. Treat tool surface area as a product.

• Drive production MLOps: deployment, versioning, traffic shaping, cost/latency budgets, tracing, and on-call playbooks for agent incidents.

• Partner with security and compliance to keep agents inside SOC 2, GDPR, CCPA, and fair-lending posture — auditability and explainability built in, not bolted on.

• Mentor engineers on agent patterns, prompt hygiene, eval discipline, and LLM failure modes.

• Technology Stack

  • Languages: Python, Node.js, TypeScript
  • Agent / LLM frameworks: LangGraph, LangChain, Claude Agent SDK, MCP, OpenAI SDK
  • Models: Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, open-weight where appropriate
  • Retrieval & Data: PostgreSQL, pgvector, OpenSearch, Kafka, Redshift, Redis
  • Infra: AWS, Kubernetes (EKS), ArgoCD, Terraform
  • Evals & Observability: LangSmith / Langfuse / Braintrust-style tooling, DataDog

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with 2+ years building production LLM or agentic systems (not just notebooks or demos).

• Hands-on experience with a modern agent framework (LangGraph strongly preferred) and a track record of shipping agents that run, fail gracefully, and recover.

• Strong RAG fundamentals chunking, embeddings, hybrid retrieval, reranking, grounding — and judgment about when RAG isn’t the right answer.

• Real eval experience golden sets, offline and online evaluations, used to make ship/no-ship calls.

• Production MLOps fluency: deployed LLM workloads under real latency, cost, and reliability constraints.

• Strong Python; comfortable in TypeScript / Node.js.

• Solid systems engineering instincts APIs, async patterns, queues, databases, distributed system failure modes.

• Calibrated communicator; thrives in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.

• Prior experience in fintech, lending, payments, KYB/KYC, fraud, or AML.

• Experience building MCP servers or other structured tool interfaces for LLMs.

• Background in classical ML (ranking, scoring, calibration).

• Experience designing explainable / auditable AI workflows for regulated environments.

• Open-source contributions to agent frameworks, eval tooling, or retrieval libraries.

• AWS depth (EKS, MSK, RDS, S3, Lambda) and IaC with Terraform.

Success Metrics

• Agent Quality: Measurable improvements in task success rate, grounding accuracy, and hallucination rate on our eval suites.
• Production Reliability: Agents you own meet defined SLOs for latency (P90/P99), tool-call success, and cost per task.
• Velocity: New agent capabilities go from prototype to production in weeks, without skipping evals or guardrails.
• Risk Posture: Zero material incidents tied to prompt injection, PII leakage, or unsafe tool use on agents you own.
• Force Multiplier: Patterns, tools, and eval scaffolding you build get adopted across engineering.
