JOB DESCRIPTION

We're looking for a AI Agent Developer to help build, test, and support enterprise conversational AI agents and the web experiences around them. You'll work alongside senior engineers on Google Cloud Platform (GECX / Dialogflow CX), connect agents to Azure and ServiceNow, build front-end interfaces that users interact with, and help maintain the pipelines and tests that keep releases reliable.

Key Responsibilities

Agent and backend

Agent development: Build and test conversational flows, intents, route groups, and LLM-powered tools in GECX / Dialogflow CX, and contribute to agents built with Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK).

Backend integration: Develop and maintain REST APIs, webhooks, and small services in Python (.NET or Node.js ) that connect agents to ServiceNow and Azure systems.

Data queries: Write SQL queries for agent lookups, reporting, and conversational analytics.

Front end

Web UI development: Create responsive, accessible interfaces using HTML, CSS, and TypeScript / JavaScript with a modern framework (for example React or Angular).

API connection: Connect front-end components to backend services and agent APIs, including loading states, error handling, and session handling in the browser.

Dashboards and tools: Contribute to simple internal pages for agent analytics, test results, or admin tasks.

Delivery

CI/CD support: Help maintain Azure DevOps pipelines used to validate and deploy agent configurations, fulfillment services, and front-end builds. Make updates to existing YAML pipelines with review.

Automated testing: Write and run unit tests, webhook API tests, dialog flow regression tests, and front-end component tests. Help expand coverage over time.

Troubleshooting: Investigate bugs and failed test runs, document findings, and escalate when needed.

Agile participation: Take part in sprint planning, standups, backlog refinement, and Program Increment (PI) planning within a SAFe environment.

Documentation: Keep flow designs, API behavior, UI component notes, and runbooks current.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, IT, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

Working proficiency in Python (required), .NET and HTML, CSS, and JavaScript or TypeScript

Understanding of REST APIs, JSON, MCP and how webhooks work, including calling APIs from a browser app
