Product Engineer – Agentic Automation, Application

Role Overview

• Design, build and own backend services and workflows that automate complex, multi-step processes
• Implement reliable orchestration for long-running workflows, including state management, retries and recovery
• Integrate unstructured data assessment into automation flows, including document analysis and external system interaction
• Build and maintain headless and API-driven interactions with third-party tools where direct integration is limited
• Design retrieval and context assembly flows that balance accuracy, performance and cost
• Define and enforce clear boundaries for automated actions, validation and human intervention
• Own application-layer integration with automation, including status, progress, confidence and recovery surfaces
• Implement user-facing flows for initiating, monitoring, validating and overriding automated behavior
• Ensure failures, retries and partial execution are visible and understandable to users
• Design explainability and audit views that reflect real system behavior
• Ensure automated workflows are observable, testable and auditable end to end
• Optimize services for performance and cost as usage scales, with explicit focus on reducing cost to serve
• Contribute to shared platform patterns for automation, messaging, caching, memory and state management
• Work closely with Product, Data, Design and Security teams to ensure automation aligns with business outcomes and trust requirements
• Continuously identify opportunities to replace manual operational work with safe, scalable automation

Requirements

• Full professional fluency in English (written and spoken) is mandatory
• Strong experience building production backend systems, not prototypes
• Experience designing application behavior on top of asynchronous and long-running processes
• Experience working with unstructured data such as documents, web content or semi-structured records
• Experience building systems where automation replaces manual operational effort at scale
• Understanding of retrieval, context assembly and information extraction pipelines
• Experience managing state, memory and context across long-running workflows
• Familiarity with caching strategies, message queues and asynchronous processing patterns
• Ability to reason about system behavior under load, partial failure and retry conditions
• Experience designing user-facing systems that reflect underlying system state accurately
• Strong understanding of cost, performance and reliability trade-offs
• Awareness of how architectural decisions impact cost to serve
• Comfort working across backend, automation and application layers
• Ability to collaborate closely with product, design, data and security teams
• Clear communication and a bias toward pragmatic, maintainable solutions
