In this role, you will work hands-on with Claude Code and the Anthropic API to design, harden, and ship agentic systems that write, review, test, and deploy code. This is a high-impact, build-and-own opportunity: you will take cutting-edge AI prototypes and turn them into resilient production infrastructure - directly empowering our global engineering teams, accelerating our product velocity, and helping us solidify Paysend as the definitive end-to-end payment infrastructure for the modern world.\nTHE ENGINEERING PROBLEM\nThe problem is not to make an LLM generate code. The problem is to make AI-assisted and agentic software delivery reliable enough to become part of normal engineering work.\nThese systems operate inside real software delivery workflows. They need to deal with incomplete context, failed execution, incorrect assumptions, external dependencies, changing repository state, and cases where an agent should not continue on its own. This means designing clear execution boundaries, decision points, observability, recovery and escalation paths, not only the agent behaviour itself.\nThe role includes shaping how these systems work, not only implementing integrations with existing AI tools.\nWHAT YOU'LL DO\nDesign end-to-end AI-assisted delivery workflows, including agent responsibilities, execution boundaries, decision points, human intervention, failure handling, recovery, and escalation\n\nDesign and refine AI-driven pipelines that automate coding, code review, testing, and deployment tasks\n\nBuild and optimise agentic workflows using Claude Code and the Anthropic API, including custom tooling, MCP server integrations, sub-agents, and stateful orchestration logic\n\nEngineer robust prompts, benchmark suites, and automated eval datasets; measure and improve pipeline accuracy, latency, and API costs\n\nDefine workflow-specific success criteria and operational evidence, including correctness, reliability, intervention and escalation rates, failure modes, and recovery effectiveness\n\nIntegrate core Anthropic capabilities (tool use, structured outputs, prompt caching, batch processing) into internal developer platforms\n\nHandle unglamorous production work: sandboxed execution, strict error handling, retries, observability, guardrails, and edge cases\n\nOwn these systems after initial implementation: observe how they behave in real engineering workflows, investigate failures and incorrect behaviour, and improve the system based on operational evidence\n\nPartner with engineers across the org to identify automation opportunities and roll out agentic tools safely with human-in-the-loop review mechanisms\n\nWHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR\nStrong software engineering background, with experience designing, building, and operating production systems, and strong hands-on experience with Python or TypeScript\n\nAbility to decompose end-to-end engineering workflows, identify decision boundaries, failure modes, dependencies, observability needs, and recovery paths\n\nDirect, hands-on experience with Claude Code-you've used it beyond casual experimentation and understand its strengths, limits, and configuration (CLAUDE.md, sub-agents, hooks)\n\nExperience building with LLM APIs: prompt engineering, tool/function calling, structured outputs, context window optimization, agentic loops, and evaluation\n\nFamiliarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol) server integration and custom workflows\n\nComfort turning prototypes into production systems: CI/CD integration, containerized execution, reliability engineering, and monitoring\n\nPragmatic judgment about where AI automation helps and where traditional deterministic logic or human oversight is required\n\nNICE TO HAVE\nExperience with agent orchestration frameworks or building custom agent harnesses/tooling\n\nTrack record shipping internal developer platforms or CLI tooling\n\nContributions to open-source AI frameworks, developer tools, or MCP servers\n\nWhy Join Paysend?\nMake a Global Impact:\n\nJoin a company that is transforming how people and businesses move money around the world. Your work will contribute to products and services that help millions of customers stay connected globally.\nOwn Meaningful Outcomes:\n\nWe empower our people to take ownership, make decisions, and drive real impact.
