This person will help create agents that make industrial AI systems easier to deploy, diagnose, explain, support, and improve.\nIn this role, you will build production-quality agentic product workflows around inspection evidence, deployment state, hardware health, logs, model outputs, customer workflows, support history, and field feedback.\nThe ideal candidate has prior hands-on experience building agents or agentic workflows, preferably in real production software rather than only prototypes. They should be fluent in Python and comfortable building robust AI applications that use tools, retrieve context, reason over multimodal evidence, and operate within clear human-in-the-loop boundaries.\nWhat You Will Do\nBuild agentic workflows for Mindtrace inspection products, including deployment support, system health, incident triage, inspection explanation, reporting, and data-curation loops.\nDevelop agents that can use tools, inspect logs, retrieve relevant context, summarize evidence, recommend next actions, and package issues for escalation.\nWork on agentic product workflows that support deployment, inspection review, diagnostics, reporting, escalation, and continuous improvement.\nIntegrate agents with product APIs, databases, image records, model outputs, configuration state, hardware status, support history, and customer-specific metadata.\nDesign agent workflows that sit inside real task surfaces rather than generic chatbot experiences.\nBuild evaluation and observability for agent behaviour, including tool-call history, task success metrics, regression tests, failure modes, traceability, and guardrails.\nCollaborate with ML, product, hardware, client, and deployment teams to turn field experience into reusable product knowledge.\nHelp define where agents should explain, recommend, summarize, prepare actions, or escalate, while preserving clear human authority for consequential production decisions.\nPrototype quickly, but harden the right workflows into maintainable product features.\nRequired Skills and Experience\nPrior hands-on experience building agents, agentic workflows, LLM applications, or AI workflow products.\nStrong Python fluency for application development, workflow orchestration, AI integration, testing, and data processing.\nExperience with LLM or VLM application patterns such as tool use, structured outputs, retrieval, memory/context management, prompt design, and evaluation.\nStrong backend or full-stack product engineering skills, including APIs, databases, events, permissions, workflow state, and integration with existing systems.\nAbility to build reliable human-in-the-loop AI workflows where agent actions are observable, reviewable, and bounded.\nExperience designing or implementing evaluation for AI systems, including regression testing, task success metrics, failure analysis, and reliability checks.\nComfort working with multimodal operational data, including images, logs, model outputs, metadata, configuration state, and user feedback.\nClear communication and product judgement: able to turn ambiguous operational needs into useful workflows that real users can trust.\nHighly Beneficial Skills\nExperience shipping agents or LLM applications in production environments.\nExperience with vision-language models or multimodal AI over images, video, inspection evidence, diagrams, screenshots, or technical records.\nExperience with RAG over structured and unstructured data.\nFamiliarity with observability, log analysis, incident response, support tooling, runbooks, or developer tools.\nExperience building workflow UIs where AI assists a specific operational task.\nFamiliarity with manufacturing, quality inspection, industrial automation, field support, or regulated operational environments.\nExperience with vector databases, embeddings, search systems, or knowledge retrieval.\nExperience with model governance, audit trails, release control, permissions, or safety-sensitive AI workflows.\nFamiliarity with OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, open-source LLM/VLM stacks, LangGraph-style orchestration, or similar agent frameworks. The candidate should understand enough vision and inspection context to collaborate well with ML and hardware specialists, while remaining primarily focused on agentic workflows and AI product engineering.\nCandidate Profile\nThe strongest candidates will have direct experience building and deploying agentic systems into industrial, operational, or similarly complex production environments. They should know how to move beyond prototypes into reliable agent workflows that save time, reduce deployment friction, explain evidence, improve support workflows, and make inspection systems easier to operate and trust. This person should be able to answer questions like:\nWhat should this agent be allowed to do, and where should a human remain in control?\nWhat context does the agent need to diagnose this issue reliably?\nHow do we know the agent is working, and how do we detect when it fails?\nHow do we turn one deployment issue into reusable product knowledge?\nHow should agent activity be logged, inspected, evaluated, and improved over time?\nWe are an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or Veteran status.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5519,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Industrial Automation","Computer Vision","Industrial AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-23T05:21:14Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":15,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.428,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":51,"expected_fill_days":23,"reasons":["conf:4","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-25T05:49:26Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/mindtrace-ai-agents-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/mindtrace-ai-agents-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-26T02:33:31Z","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":3258,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-27T00:00:00Z"}},"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":28622},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=28622"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmindtrace-ai-agents-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%2Fmindtrace-ai-agents-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%2Fmindtrace-ai-agents-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/mindtrace-ai-agents-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmindtrace-ai-agents-engineer"}]}
