Role OverviewWe're looking for a hands‑on AI Engineer to ship on our platform: building agent harnesses, writing the tools those agents call, and owning the reliability and evaluation of what goes to production. This is not a research role. You'll prototype, ship, monitor, and iterate on features used by real teams.Our team tends to be people who reason carefully, ship working code, and pick up new tools without a lot of handholding. There's no single path into this role. We value the impact of what you've built and your track record of building things that hold up.About the team and what we'll build togetherKobie runs some of the largest loyalty programs in the world. We're building an internal agent platform on Amazon AgentCore that automates analyst workflows, surfaces insights from program data in Snowflake, and gives our teams and clients an LLM‑native way to work with complex loyalty logic.Role & Responsibilities – How you will make an impactAgent DevelopmentBuild agent harnesses in Python using LangChain and LangGraph, including tool‑calling, structured outputs (Pydantic/JSON schema), retries, streaming, and memoryPackage agent harnesses for the AgentCore Runtime with appropriate context, tools, skills, and subagents that fit cleanly into production flows and scenariosWrite the tools and skills agents use: API integrations, SQL queries against Snowflake, and Snowflake‑backed knowledge retrieval with clear contracts and Pydantic validationEvaluation and ReliabilityBuild evaluation harnesses (golden datasets, LLM‑as‑judge, regression suites) using AgentCore Evaluations, and wire them into CIImplement guardrails around tool execution: auth scoping, input/output validation, PII and prompt‑injection protections, and hallucination mitigationOwn what you ship: prototype, deploy through Amazon AgentCore, monitor traces, and fix it when it breaksCollaborationPartner with data engineers on Snowflake‑backed retrieval patterns (Cortex Analyst and Cortex Search Services)Contribute to refining our internal engineering patterns as the stack evolvesSkill sets – What you need to be successfulRequired3+ years of professional Python, with production experience building and operating services1+ years of hands‑on work with LLMs in production: prompt/context engineering, tool/function calling, structured outputs, RAGWorking knowledge of LangChain/LangGraph or a comparable framework like AgentCore Strands, CrewAI, or Semantic KernelExperience with LLM observability tools: Amazon CloudWatch, LangSmith, Langfuse, MLflow, or OpenTelemetryExperience designing evaluation frameworks (MLFlow, DeepEval, LLM‑as‑judge, multi‑turn regression)Fluency with Git, Docker, and modern API frameworksClear written communication and the judgment to know when something is ready to shipA bachelor's degree is not required. Equivalent practical experience – bootcamps, self‑taught work, career changes, or non‑CS technical degrees – counts.Strongly PreferredHands‑on experience with Amazon Bedrock and/or AgentCore as a developer: runtime, gateways, memory, policy, guardrails, observability, awscli, evaluationsExperience with Snowflake, Snowpark, or Snowflake CortexFluency in writing and reading SQL, as well as understanding semantic modelsFamiliarity with multi‑agent patterns: supervisor/router, subagent/handoff, reflection, human‑in‑the‑loopA considered view on where agents should and shouldn't act and comfort pushing back when “let's add an agent” isn't the right answerExperience in Loyalty, MarTech, AdTech, or a comparable data‑rich B2B domainEqual Employment OpportunityEmployment at Kobie is based solely on an individual's merit and qualifications, which are directly related to professional competence.
