We own customer-facing support experiences (chat + contact center integrations), enablement tooling, and a growing portfolio of agentic workflows that accelerate investigations and back-office execution. We are hiring a Senior backend engineer to build and productionize agentic systems that are safe, observable, and auditable while strengthening service boundaries and lifecycle correctness across vendor and internal platforms. The focus is to move toward: Clearer service ownership and deterministic lifecycle behavior across systems Well-defined, testable contracts between internal services and vendors Observable and explainable runtime behavior for AI workflows and integrations Repeatable evaluation and regression gating for non-deterministic agent outputs Predictable and low-risk releases aligned to o
