Workplace Type: remote
As a remote-first organization headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida, Kobie values meaningful in-person connection and collaboration that strengthens our teams, supports our clients, and enhances our culture. While travel requirements vary by role, periodic travel may be required to support business objectives, team collaboration, customer engagements, training, and company events. Candidates should be able and willing to travel as needed to fulfill the responsibilities of the role.
About the team and what we’ll build together
Kobie runs some of the largest loyalty programs in the world. Were 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.
Were looking for a hands-on AI Engineer to ship on that 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. Youll 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.
How you will make an impact
Agent Development
- Build agent harnesses in Python using LangChain and LangGraph, including tool-calling, structured outputs (Pydantic/JSON schema), retries, streaming, and memory
- Package agent harnesses for the AgentCore Runtime with appropriate context, tools, skills, and subagents that fit cleanly into production flows and scenarios
- Write the tools and skills agents use API integrations, SQL queries against Snowflake, Snowflake backed knowledge retrieval with clear contracts and Pydantic validation
Evaluation and Reliability
- Build evaluation harnesses (golden datasets, LLM-as-judge, regression suites) using AgentCore Evaluations, and wire them into CI
- Implement guardrails around tool execution: auth scoping, input/output validation, PII and prompt-injection protections, and hallucination mitigation
- You own what you ship: prototype, deploy through Amazon AgentCore, monitor traces, and fix it when it breaks
Collaboration
- Partner with data engineers on Snowflake backed retrieval patterns (Cortex Analyst and Cortex Search Services)
- Contribute to refining our internal engineering patterns as the stack evolves
What you need to be successful
Required
- 3+ years of professional Python, with production experience building and operating services
- 1+ years of hands-on work with LLMs in production: prompt/context engineering, tool/function calling, structured outputs, RAG
- Working knowledge of LangChain/LangGraph or a comparable framework like AgentCore Strands, CrewAI, or Semantic Kernel
- Experience with LLM observability tools: Amazon CloudWatch, LangSmith, Langfuse, MLflow, or OpenTelemetry
- Experience designing evaluation frameworks (MLFlow, DeepEval, LLM-as-judge, multi-turn regression)
- Fluency with Git, Docker, and modern API frameworks
- Clear written communication and the judgment to know when something is ready to ship
A bachelors degree is not required. Equivalent practical experience: including bootcamps, self-taught work, career changes, or non-CS technical degrees counts.
Strongly Preferred
- Hands-on experience with Amazon Bedrock and/or AgentCore as a developer: runtime, gateways, memory, policy, guardrails, observability, awscli, evaluations
- Experience with Snowflake, Snowpark, or Snowflake Cortex
- Fluency in writing and reading SQL, as well as understanding semantic models.
- Familiarity with multi-agent patterns: supervisor/router, subagent/handoff, reflection, human-in-the-loop
- A considered view on where agents should and shouldnt act and comfort pushing back when lets add an agent isnt the right answer
- Experience in Loyalty, MarTech, AdTech, or a comparable data rich B2B domain
