Our AI-powered software streamlines workflows, making it easier for teams to collaborate, innovate, and succeed.\nAbout the role\nKantiv is looking for an engineer with 2-4 years of experience to help build the next generation of agentic applications that streamline proposal writing for the AEC industry. These are systems that reason, use tools, remember, and collaborate with users. The stack spans multi-agent orchestration, MCP servers, skills, long-term memory, evals, retrieval, and the plumbing that makes all of it hold up in production. We're looking for someone to help us build it.\nWhat you'll do\nBuild agents as modular, plug-and-play components that slot cleanly into the wider stack.\n\nAdd memory layers (short-term, long-term, summarization, retrieval-backed) into running systems.\n\nWire up tool integrations, MCP servers, and skills.\n\nOwn quality of the features you put out: tests, evals, observability, the works.\n\nDig into production traces to understand what the system is actually doing, and close the loop with fixes.\n\nBackground we're looking for\n2-4 years of writing production software.\n\nStrong Python skills. You write good Python and can tell good Python from bad, especially now that a lot of code comes out of an LLM. Separation of concerns, clean OOP, idiomatic syntax, well-structured modules, tests that actually test something.\n\nSolid grounding in core agentic and LLM concepts: RAG, prompting patterns, tool use, structured outputs, streaming, context management, basic generative AI fundamentals.\n\nYou've built something non-trivial with the modern agent toolkit, whether that's a side project, a prototype at work, or a hackathon thing that got out of hand.\n\nAble to drop into an unfamiliar codebase and find your way around fast.\n\nA keen eye for detail. You sit with a problem before reaching for a solution. No jumping to the shiny fix because it sounds clever. You understand what's actually broken before you touch anything.\n\nData-driven by default. Decisions come from production traces, eval numbers, and logs, not vibes. Comfortable slicing through trace data to find the real signal.\n\nHands-on experience with Langfuse or LangSmith (or equivalent tracing/observability for LLM systems).\n\nGenuine curiosity about the frontier. You read the blog posts, try the frameworks, and have opinions about where agent design is headed.\n\nExperience we'd be particularly excited about\nSearch and retrieval: embeddings, vector databases, hybrid retrieval, rerankers, and the gap between a retrieval system that demos well and one that survives real data.\n\nLLM evaluations end-to-end: designing evals, choosing what to measure, building the harness, keeping scores honest as models and prompts shift.\n\nLangGraph depth: building custom graphs, understanding checkpointers, working with context-management nodes (summarizers, windowing, state pruning) inside larger agent graphs.\n\nWhat to expect\nWe conduct a rigorous interview process based on integrity, talent, and drive. We trust our teammates from day one and move quickly to evaluate your fit for the role. The entire interview process typically takes two weeks. Here's what to expect:\nA 30 minute Zoom meeting to talk about Kantiv, your background, and answer any questions about the role. (Getting to know each other)\n\n45-minute Python proficiency / agentic coding proficiency test. 2 problems. 1 to be coded by hand. Other using Gen AI.\n\n60 min project, deep dive into the work they have done. A short presentation followed by a Q&A. Presentation should conclude between 20-25 min.\n\n45 min interview on Gen AI / LLM fundamentals.\n\n30 min culture fit.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3839,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"India","iso":"IN","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Business Development","Knowledge Graphs"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-14T13:13:04Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":3,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.103,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":174,"expected_fill_days":7,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T20:35:42Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/kantiv-com-agentic-systems-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/kantiv-com-agentic-systems-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T20:35:42Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":27403,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3176140},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3176140"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fkantiv-com-agentic-systems-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fkantiv-com-agentic-systems-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fkantiv-com-agentic-systems-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/kantiv-com-agentic-systems-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fkantiv-com-agentic-systems-engineer"}]}
