## Description

Cooperidge Consulting Firm is seeking an **AI Agent Software Engineer** for a high-momentum AI platform leader in **San Francisco, CA**.

This is a full-cycle ownership role for engineers who want to move beyond "opaque prompts" and build production-ready, autonomous agents. You will design AI systems that handle high-sensitivity tasks—such as password resets and complex account resolutions—traditionally managed by human teams in finance and healthcare. Utilizing a proprietary logic framework and real-time observability tools, you will build agents that are transparent, auditable, and capable of end-to-end issue resolution. This is an elite opportunity for a systems-minded engineer to join an engineer-led culture where "no prior AI experience" is required—only a mastery of robust software engineering and deep curiosity.  
  
Job Responsibilities

-   **Autonomous Agent Design:** Build AI-driven voice and chat agents that anticipate customer intent and resolve complex workflows end-to-end.
-   **Logic Framework Implementation:** Translate natural language instructions into structured, modular, and auditable workflows using a proprietary agent logic framework.
-   **Observability & Tracing:** Use real-time tools to trace agent decisions, ensuring every action is understandable, debuggable, and continuously improving.
-   **Performance Engineering:** Analyze large-scale performance data to identify behavioral trends and drive platform-wide improvements in agent reasoning.
-   **Model Integration:** Experiment with and tune the latest voice and language models for enterprise-grade reliability, low latency, and broad language coverage.
-   **Full-Cycle Ownership:** Take agent concepts from initial design and prototyping through to production deployment and rapid iteration.
-   **Cross-Functional Partnership:** Collaborate with product and operations teams to identify friction points and deliver measurable improvements to the customer experience.

-   **Computer Science Foundation:** Strong background in CS fundamentals; while specific language experience is flexible, a deep understanding of performance optimization is required.

### Mindset & Curiosity

-   **The "AI Apprentice" Mindset:** No prior AI experience is required; the team will provide comprehensive training on agentic reasoning and LLM integration.
-   **Proactive Reasoning:** A deep curiosity about how AI agents reason, why they fail, and how to make them more reliable.
-   **Obsession with UX:** A focus on building robust, transparent systems that solve real human problems.
