# Senior Software Engineer, AI Agents

You've worked with a service-to-service orchestration tool such as n8n, Temporal, MuleSoft, Apache Camel, or Boomi. You've operated an API gateway (Kong, Tyk, or similar) in production. You've built or run a system serving multiple tenants/customers on shared infrastructure. You've built or used an evaluation framework to validate AI output quality before it shipped - not just spot-checked it. If your AI experience is mainly demos, personal projects, or wiring a single LLM call into an app, this role is above that level. IFS is a billion-dollar revenue company with
