Agentic AI Engineer

OCTOPYD

Toronto, ON

Full-time

Full Description

About the Role

Our partner company are seeking an AI Engineer to design, implement, and deploy advanced agentic AI systems.

In this role, you’ll build production-ready AI agents that can reason across multiple steps, leverage a mixture of proprietary models, integrate with semiconductor design tools, and operate autonomously over a long period of time.

You’ll work with state of the art frameworks to create pipelines that combine LLM-based reasoning, knowledge grounding, and multi-agent orchestration.

This is a high-impact role where you’ll partner with research and engineering teams to translate cutting-edge chip design workflows into reliable, scalable agentic solutions for real-world use cases.

Key Responsibilities

● Build Agentic Systems – Implement multi-step reasoning agents with advanced memory, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and integrations to tools, databases, and APIs.

● Evaluate and Optimize Agent Performance – Define and implement evaluation pipelines for agentic systems, including success/failure classification, grounding accuracy, reasoning robustness, tool-use reliability, and long-horizon task completion. Use metrics and benchmarks to continuously improve performance in production environments.

● Orchestrate & Optimize – Design supervisor/sub-agent patterns, enable coordination across agents, and apply best practices for robustness, performance, and scalability.

● Deploy & Evolve – Deliver production-grade agentic AI workflows on cloud platforms (AWS preferred), monitor and evaluate agent performance, and continuously fine-tune for quality and efficiency.

● Collaborate & Translate – Work with product managers, researchers, and engineers to transform complex chip design workflows into agent-driven, end-to-end solutions.

Desired Skillset

● Agentic AI Systems

• Hands-on experience with multi-agent orchestration and supervisor patterns.

• Familiarity with LangChain, LangGraph, LangSmith, or similar frameworks.

• Knowledge of RAG pipelines, memory management, and evaluation of agent performance.

● Evaluation and Optimization

• Familiarity with agent evaluation frameworks (e.g., LangSmith evals, benchmark datasets, unit tests for agent workflows).

• Experience designing custom evaluation metrics for reasoning steps, tool use correctness, and RAG pipeline performance.

• Ability to balance automatic evaluation (synthetic benchmarks, self-play) with human-in-the-loop evaluation for complex workflows.

● Cloud & Infrastructure

• Strong software engineering foundation with experience in cloud environments (AWS preferred).

• Knowledge of containerized deployment and backend integration.

● Programming & Development

• Proficiency in Python; experience with backend systems and API integration.

• Familiarity with modern software engineering practices (GitHub, CI/CD pipelines, testing frameworks).

Required Qualifications

● Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related field.

● 5-10 years of experience in software development in cloud environment

● 2+ years of experience with hands-on experience building and deploying production-grade agentic AI systems with real-world applications.

● Solid working knowledge of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), agent performance evaluation, and hands-on experience with LangGraph and LangSmith platforms.

● Proficiency in Python and familiarity with backend cloud services (preferably AWS).

Preferred Qualifications

● Contributions to open-source AI projects or frameworks.

● Experience with multi-agent orchestration patterns at scale.

● Knowledge of reinforcement learning, planning algorithms, or autonomous reasoning.

● Track record of deploying agentic AI systems in production at scale

What We Offer

● The chance to work on state-of-the-art AI systems that push the boundaries of autonomy and reasoning.

● A collaborative environment where engineering meets research.

● Competitive compensation and equity in a fast-growing AI startup.

● A culture that values ownership, curiosity, and technical excellence.
