Responsibilities
Build Agentic Workflows: Design and implement autonomous AI agents capable of understanding customer intent and executing complex tasks on the marketplace—such as auto-dispatching technicians, negotiating rates within bounds, and predicting project risks before they happen. You will lead a team of peer software engineers, providing technical direction, ensuring the integrity and performance of the deployed agentic systems
Eliminate Operational Toil: Identify high-friction points in our customers' journey—specifically around deploying and managing work orders—and engineer automation systems that reduce these manual steps to zero
Develop Workflow Engines: Create flexible, event-driven automation architectures that allow customers to define their own business logic (e.g., "If X happens, then dispatch Y"), enabling them to program their operations on top of Field Nation
Rapidly Experiment with AI: Leverage the latest in Large Language Models (LLMs) and agentic frameworks (e.g., LangChain, AutoGen) to prototype new automation capabilities. You will quickly build, test, and validate these tools with real users to see what truly drives efficiency
Streamline Integration: Work on systems that seamlessly ingest data from customer ERPs or ticketing systems and instantly translate that data into actionable work on the marketplace, removing the need for swivel-chair data entry
Measure & Amplify Value: Focus on metrics that matter to the business—time saved per work order, reduction in human touchpoints, and speed of deployment. You will use these metrics to iterate on your designs
Qualification
Required
8+ years of software development experience with a focus on backend systems, API design, and scalable architecture
2+ years of practical experience building applications using LLMs and agentic frameworks, with a proven track record in designing and deploying multi-agent systems and AI orchestration platforms serving significant user bases
Demonstrated hands-on experience optimizing prompt design, context management, and token efficiency to balance cost, latency, and output quality
Experience building or integrating with workflow orchestration tools (e.g., Temporal, Airflow) or low-code automation platforms (e.g., Zapier, n8n)
Strong knowledge of REST/GraphQL APIs, webhooks, and data transformation pipelines
Obsession with Efficiency: You hate repetitive tasks. You have a track record of looking at a manual process and writing code to automate it
0 to 1 Mindset: Like our Innovation roles, you are comfortable working with ambiguity. You can take a vague problem like 'customers spend too much time clicking buttons' and turn it into a sophisticated automation solution
