AI Agentic Engineer - Remote

Compensation: $61.95 - $63.86 per hour, W2, based on qualifications

Position Overview:
We are hiring for a role that is not a traditional AI/ML or Java developer position. This is a backend engineering role for someone who embraces an AI-first, Specification-Driven Development (SDD) approach. The ideal candidate will utilize AI tools to generate a significant portion of the code and will then be responsible for reviewing, testing, debugging, and refining the output, acting more as an AI engineering orchestrator and code validator rather than manually writing every line of code.

Key Responsibilities:

• Use AI/LLMs and Copilot tools to generate backend application code, APIs, tests, documentation, and other engineering artifacts
• Translate requirements into clear technical specifications, prompts, API contracts, and workflows that AI can execute against
• Review and validate AI-generated Java/Spring Boot code for defects, hallucinations, security issues, performance problems, and architectural violations
• Build/integrate agentic AI capabilities into enterprise applications
• Develop and support backend APIs, microservices, integrations, and shared services
• Apply Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) practices to ensure AI-generated solutions are accurate and production ready
• Help the organization establish reusable AI-first engineering practices and patterns

Primary Requirements:

• Strong Java and Spring Boot development background
• Knowledge of Spring Data JPA and Spring Security
• Experience with REST APIs and microservices
• PostgreSQL and relational database experience
• Strong code review, debugging, testing, and troubleshooting skills
• Ability to understand code deeply enough to identify problems in AI-generated code
• Hands-on experience using AI/LLMs for software development
• GitHub Copilot and/or Microsoft Copilot experience
• Understanding of LLMs, prompt engineering, and AI-assisted development
• Experience with or understanding of Specification-Driven Development (SDD) / specification-first development
• Strong interest in allowing AI to generate the initial solution rather than defaulting to manually coding everything

Desired Skills:

• Experience with Gemini, Google Vertex AI, Vertex AI Agent Studio, or Agent Builder
• Experience with Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) or other Agent SDK/frameworks
• Experience integrating AI/agentic AI into an application
• BigQuery
• Change Data Capture (CDC) / Slowly Changing Dimensions (SCD)
• RAG / GraphRAG / grounding
• Experience with GCP, Cloud SQL, Pub/Sub, GKE or Cloud Run
• React knowledge is a plus but not required

If you have the described qualifications and are interested in this exciting opportunity, please apply!
