Full Job Description
We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join a rapidly growing AI technology company to help build next-generation AI agents that automate complex business workflows. This opportunity required hybrid work from their downtown Chicago office.
In this role, you'll work with a modern technology stack including Python, TypeScript, LangChain, LangGraph, Docker, REST APIs, and cloud-native infrastructure. This position is ideal for engineers who want to be at the forefront of agentic AI development. Rather than simply integrating AI into existing products, this team is designing and deploying intelligent systems capable of reasoning, taking actions, and orchestrating workflows autonomously. The organization is seeking a highly experienced engineer who enjoys solving challenging technical problems, influencing architecture, and working across multiple layers of the technology stack.
