About the role

  • This is a hands-on applied AI role with a strong software engineering foundation and a focus on reliability, behavior quality, and user impact.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and own Manny features end to end across the agent backend, tools, and UI
  • Improve agent behavior, reliability, and answer quality through prompt engineering, tool design, and changes to the agent control flow
  • Design and extend Manny's tool surface through the MCP server that connects the agent to Planera's scheduling services
  • Build and own the evaluation loop: golden datasets, automated evaluators, snapshot-based replay, and offline and online quality metrics
  • Implement observability for agent runs with tracing, metrics, and structured logging, and use it to debug and improve behavior in production
  • Collaborate with product, backend, and frontend to deliver AI features end to end
  • 4+ years of software engineering experience, including recent hands-on work building production LLM features.
  • Hands-on experience building agentic systems with LLMs: tool and function calling, ReAct or similar loops, and orchestration frameworks such as LangChain/LangGraph
  • Build the AI that changes how the world plans and schedules construction.

Requirements

  • Strong proficiency in Python building production services
  • Experience with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) or building tool and function-calling integrations for LLMs

Nice to have

  • Experience with MongoDB and Redis
  • Cloud experience (AWS or GCP), containers, and CI/CD
  • Go experience, as most of our backend systems are written in Go, including the MCP tool server
  • Practical experience with retrieval and augmentation (RAG), embeddings, and vector stores
  • Familiarity with LangSmith or comparable LLM evaluation and tracing platforms
  • Frontend or React familiarity for agent UI work
  • Domain knowledge in construction tech, project management, or scheduling

Skills

  • PYTHON (FLASK), GO, LANGGRAPH/LANGCHAIN, LANGSMITH, MONGODB, REDIS, S3, REST/WEBSOCKETS/SSE, DOCKER, AWS/GCP, TERRAFORM, GITLAB CI/CD
  • tool and function calling, ReAct or similar loops, and orchestration frameworks such as LangChain/LangGraph
  • shaping model behavior reliably, debugging failures from traces, and managing large prompts and token cost

Compensation

  • Competitive salary, stock options, benefits package, and a dynamic work environment.
