  • Proven ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment, with excellent communication skills and a commitment to delivering high-quality solutions on time.
  • Experience designing and evaluating AI agents or multi-agent pipelines is a strong plus.
Responsibilities:
  • Design, build, and optimize LLM-powered agents that assist developers in tasks such as code generation, unit test creation, bug fixing, and refactoring.
  • Research the capabilities and limitations of SOTA LLMs and apply findings to improve agent performance and reliability.
  • Develop evaluation pipelines to benchmark model quality, correctness, and impact on developer productivity.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with product, software, and infrastructure teams to integrate AI agents seamlessly into IDE environments (JetBrains, VSCode).
  • Craft effective prompts, fine-tune models, and experiment with advanced techniques like RLHF or DPO to guide model behavior.
  • Analyze user interactions and data to derive insights and continuously optimize the agent experience.
