Staff Agentic Software Engineer

The Staff Agentic Software Engineer, drives the design, implementation, and adoption of agentic and AI-assisted software engineering practices across multiple product teams and engineering domains. This role combines deep hands-on software development expertise with technical leadership to integrate AI capabilities throughout the software development lifecycle, improve engineering productivity and software quality, and accelerate delivery through reusable tools, frameworks, and workflows.

The role leads complex technical initiatives, establishes scalable engineering patterns, and guides teams in adopting effective agentic engineering practices. Working closely with architects, engineering leaders, and cross-functional stakeholders, this role translates successful approaches into practical, reusable capabilities that support Bio-Rad27s software engineering strategy.

How You27ll Make an Impact:

• Lead Agentic Engineering Adoption: Drive the implementation and adoption of agentic and AI-assisted software engineering practices across multiple product teams, integrating AI capabilities into design, coding, testing, documentation, and troubleshooting.
• Provide Technical Leadership: Lead complex engineering initiatives and influence technical decisions across assigned product areas. Guide teams in designing and implementing scalable, maintainable, secure, and high-quality software solutions.
• Develop Reusable Engineering Capabilities: Design and implement reusable agentic workflows, tools, frameworks, reference implementations, and automation that can be adopted across products to improve engineering productivity, consistency, and quality.
• Advance Agentic Engineering Practices: Evaluate and implement agent orchestration patterns, context management, tool integration, human oversight, evaluation strategies, and safeguards to ensure reliable, secure, and responsible use of AI-assisted engineering.
• Mentor and Enable Engineering Teams: Provide technical guidance and mentorship to senior and other software engineers, helping teams build expertise and adopt effective agentic engineering practices.
• Measure and Improve Outcomes: Establish appropriate measures for productivity, code quality, test effectiveness, defect reduction, and delivery efficiency to evaluate the impact of agentic engineering and continuously improve its implementation.

What You Bring:

• Education: Bachelor27s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field. A master27s degree is a plus.
• Work Experience: 10+ years of software engineering experience, including experience applying AI-assisted or agentic software engineering practices, and 3+ years of hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools, agentic workflows, or related technologies.
• Demonstrated experience leading technical initiatives, influencing engineering decisions across multiple teams, and translating prototypes into reusable engineering capabilities.

Required Skills / Experience

• Agentic and AI-Assisted Software Engineering: Strong hands-on experience with AI-powered development tools, agentic workflows, and integration of AI capabilities across multiple software development lifecycle activities.
• Full-Stack Software Development: Strong full-stack development experience, including the design, development, testing, debugging, and maintenance of production-quality applications.
• .NET and Angular: Strong practical experience with .NET and Angular. Experience with Golang is a plus.
• AWS Cloud: Hands-on experience designing, developing, and deploying cloud-based software solutions using AWS services and cloud-native engineering practices.
• Technical Design: Ability to lead complex technical design decisions, evaluate architectural trade-offs, and develop scalable, maintainable, secure, and reusable software solutions.
• Agentic Workflow Design: Experience designing and implementing agentic workflows, tool integrations, context management, orchestration, human-in-the-loop controls, and evaluation mechanisms appropriate to the use case.
• Reusable Frameworks and Automation: Proven ability to develop reusable libraries, engineering tools, automation, reference implementations, or frameworks that improve productivity and quality across teams.
• Software Quality and Security: Strong understanding of software engineering best practices, automated testing, CI/CD, secure development, maintainability, and reliability, including appropriate safeguards for AI-generated code and agent-driven actions.

Preferred

• Experience in clinical diagnostics, medical devices, healthcare, or life sciences, particularly in a regulated software development environment.
• Experience developing or maintaining AI-enabled software products subject to regulatory, quality, cybersecurity, or safety requirements.
• Experience applying AI and agentic workflows to requirements engineering, software architecture, code generation, automated testing, documentation, or software maintenance.
• Experience with AI agent frameworks, model APIs, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), vector databases, or Model Context Protocol (MCP).
• Experience with distributed systems, event-driven architectures, microservices, and cloud-native application development.
