You'll work at the intersection of our core product and our AI agent infrastructure - designing, building, and shipping intelligent features that make events more engaging and easier to run for organizers and attendees alike.\nYou'll join a small, high-leverage AI team at the center of that shift - the team responsible for the agents and AI-driven tooling behind our MCP server and support experiences today, and for the autonomous, customer-facing agents we're building next. This isn't a team bolted onto the side of the product: the agents you build will become one of the primary ways customers interact with vFairs, doing in minutes what currently takes an event organizer hours of manual setup.\nWhat You'll Do\nDesign and build fully autonomous AI agentsthat can independently plan, sequence, and execute the multi-step workflows required to build out a customer's event - from initial setup through configuration of sessions, booths, speakers, and content - with minimal human intervention\n\nArchitect multi-agent systemsusing LangGraph, including planner/executor patterns, task decomposition, sub-agent delegation, and recovery logic for handling partial failures or ambiguous instructions mid-task\n\nExtend and maintain our MCP (Model Context Protocol) serveras the primary interface through which these agents read and write vFairs event data - defining new tools, resources, and permissions as agent capabilities grow\n\nDesign the guardrails, validation, and human-in-the-loop checkpointsneeded to let agents act autonomously on customer data while keeping actions safe, reversible, and auditable\n\nBuild robust evaluation and observability pipelinesfor agent behavior - tracking task success rate, drift, hallucinated actions, and cost/latency - and use them to drive iteration\n\nOwn the full lifecycle of agentic features: from prototyping new capabilities, to hardening them for production, to monitoring how they perform against real customer events\n\nCollaborate with product to translate \"build my event\" as a customer intent into a reliable, decomposed agent workflow - balancing autonomy against predictability and user trust\n\nWork with our core engineering team (primarily PHP/Laravel/Vue) to integrate agentic services into the main application, including how agent actions surface and are reviewed in the UI\n\nStay current with the fast-moving agent ecosystem (frameworks, evaluation techniques, autonomy patterns) and bring in what's genuinely useful - skepticism of hype is as valuable as enthusiasm for new tools\n\nRequirements\nWhat We're Looking For\n3+ yearsof AI experience\n\nHands-on productionexperience building with LangGraph(or comparable agent orchestration frameworks) and FastAPI\n\nExperience designing multi-step or multi-agent systems- not just single-turn chat/RAG - including task planning, tool orchestration, and error recovery\n\nStrong Python skills, with experience designing and shipping LLM-powered applications (agents, RAG, tool-calling, structured outputs)\n\nExperience with MCP (Model Context Protocol) or similar tool/agent-to-application integration patterns\n\nExperience with vector databases (e.g., pgvector, Chroma) and SQL-based retrieval strategies\n\nSolid understanding of LLM application architecture: prompt design, retrieval strategies, evaluation, and handling model limitations/failure modes in production\n\nJudgment about autonomy: knowing when an agent should act independently versus pause for human confirmation, and how to design systems accordingly\n\nComfort working across the stack - from API design to deployment - and shipping features end-to-end\n\nStrong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally with product and non-AI engineering teams\n\nNice to Have\nExperience with PHP, Laravel, and Vue.js- our core application stack\n\nExperience with multi-cloud infrastructure \n\nBackground in building customer-facing chatbots or support automation\n\nExperience with WebSocket streaming for real-time AI interactions","description_format":"text","description_chars":4126,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"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":["Virtual Events","Event Technology"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-12T06:31:38Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":29,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T07:24:18Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/vfairs-ai-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/vfairs-ai-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T07:24:18Z","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":14842,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"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":1757924},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1757924"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fvfairs-ai-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"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%2Fvfairs-ai-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"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%2Fvfairs-ai-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/vfairs-ai-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fvfairs-ai-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4144431}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"vfairs.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4144431},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
