Armis is seeking talented, motivated AI builders to join our Strategic Initiatives team as part of a new AI Center of Excellence. Reporting to the Sr. Director of Engineering, this team designs and ships AI-native solutions - agents, assistants, and reusable skills - that advance Armis's security mission and multiply the impact of teams across the company.
This is a builder role. We're looking for experts engineers fluent in modern AI application development - agent frameworks, harnesses, tool use, prompting, retrieval, and evaluation - not machine learning engineers. You will be expected to train foundation models / frontier models . You will compose capable, production-grade AI systems on top of frontier models, get them into people's hands, and bring the rigor to prove they actually work.
What you'll do
- Design, build, and bring to production ready: models, AI agents, assistants, and reusable skills that solve real problems for Armis and its customers.
- Turn ideas into working MVPs fast, then partner with engineering to harden them into reliable, production-ready systems.
- Build evaluation into everything you ship - define what "good" means for each solution, measure it, and hold the bar. Due diligence through rigorous evals is non-negotiable, not an afterthought.
- Compose agentic workflows that are secure by construction, using secure harnesses along with appropriate isolation, guardrails, and controls.
- Select and integrate the right frameworks, tools, and models for each job, and turn what works into reusable patterns and best practices for the COE.
- Also be a part of the COE Consult team to help across the organization.
- Document what you build and how it should be used, operated, and evaluated.
What we're looking for
- An AI Expert in Multi-agentic solutions.
- Demonstrated experience building real AI solutions - agents, assistants, copilots, or skills - that shipped and got used, not just prototyped.
- Deep, hands-on familiarity with modern agent frameworks and developer tooling (agent SDKs such as the Top 3 providers SDKs (Claude, OpenA and Google), thorough understanding and use of SKILL.md skills standard, plus the judgment to know which to reach for when.
- Strong evaluation discipline: building test sets, defining metrics, and measuring quality, safety, and reliability before and after deployment.
- Proficiency in Python and comfort integrating APIs, tools, and cloud services (AWS, Azure, or GCP) with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
- Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
Preferred
Experience in security, or building AI for security use cases
What this role is not
- A machine learning / model-training role. We are not hiring ML engineers or building training pipelines.
