Cority helps customers see and prevent risks across their operations in real time. They are looking for a Staff AI Software Engineer to design and enhance base software while developing solutions to meet client needs. The role involves building various AI agents and requires strong technical capabilities and a collaborative mindset.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and ship agentic workflows across multiple domains (research agents, coding assistants, conversational agents (voice, texts, etc), reasoning agents, scheduling agents, analytics agents, workflow automation bots, etc.)
• Own the end-to-end lifecycle: data ingestion → reasoning → action taking → evaluation → monitoring
• Build multi-step agents capable of autonomous planning, context tracking, memory, tool use, and API orchestration
• Architect systems using modern agent stacks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, OpenAI Assistants, Model Context Protocol (MCP), custom orchestration)
• Build robust retrieval pipelines (RAG), vector embeddings, caching layers, and knowledge grounding systems
• Deploy agents as microservices with proper observability, evals, guardrails and fallbacks
• Optimize inference cost, latency, accuracy, and task-completion rates
• Run systematic evaluations: function calling accuracy, groundedness, hallucinations, long context stability
• Create reusable frameworks and libraries to accelerate subsequent agent builds
• Comfortable building MVPs in days and scaling them to stable production within weeks/months
• Drive technical and architectural decisions to meet product requirements while also anticipating and designing for future needs
