Hiring Manager
Tereza Behuncikova
Responsibilities
Design, build, and maintain the core Python SDKs and services for the Atlas AI platform. Create clean abstractions that empower Solution Engineers to easily define and test agents and workflows
Build the core agentic runtime, ensuring it is scalable, meets its SLOs, and can reliably manage the state, orchestration, and execution of industrial agents
Develop a robust, governed, and secure framework for AI agent tool-use. Engineer the platform components that allow solution engineers to safely add new tools (e.g., API calls, database queries) and that manage the secure execution, monitoring, and access control for those tools
Manage the LLM serving layer, including deploying and optimizing models for low-latency/high-throughput inference. Build and maintain model routing logic to select the most appropriate model (e.g., performance vs. cost) for a given task
Implement evaluation and observability for all AI services. Create standardized frameworks for systematically evaluating the performance, accuracy, cost, and safety of LLMs and agentic workflows. Drive the implementation of robust, automated testing strategies for LLM-based systems
Own the full development lifecycle for services in a production SaaS environment. This includes establishing automated code coverage goals, rigorous code reviews, defining SLOs, participating in on-call rotations, and ensuring a fast and effective incident response process
Work closely with the Lead Architect to translate the technical vision into implemented, production-grade services. Act as a key partner for the Solution Engineers (your internal customers) to understand their needs and abstract common patterns into reusable, robust platform components
Stay up to date on the latest developments in the field, and mentor junior developers
