[Remote] AI Engineer

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Fractal is a strategic AI partner to Fortune 500 companies focused on powering human decision-making in the enterprise. The AI Engineer will use and extend AI coding agents to deliver production software and build configurations, integrations, automation, governance controls, and evaluation systems for enterprise software engineering transformation.

Responsibilities

• Use coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and similar) daily to deliver production-quality code: features, refactors, migrations, tests, and documentation
• Apply agents to legacy modernization, code migration, and platform migration work on large, multi-repo enterprise codebases
• Serve as the reference implementer: prove out patterns on real projects, then codify them for other teams
• Review, test, and harden agent-generated code to production standards
• Build and maintain standardized agent configurations: project memory files (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, Cursor rules), custom slash commands, skills, subagents, and hooks
• Develop MCP servers and tool integrations connecting agents to internal systems (repos, ticketing, CI/CD, documentation, internal APIs)
• Engineer context packages, prompt templates, and codebase indexing approaches tailored to large and legacy environments
• Tune agent behavior and diagnose failure modes such as context overflow, tool misuse, and looping
• Build headless and background agent workflows using CLIs and SDKs (Claude Code headless mode, Claude Agent SDK, Codex CLI)
• Implement agent automation in CI/CD pipelines: automated PR review, test generation, dependency upgrades, vulnerability remediation, and migration jobs
• Build internal tooling and wrappers that make agents easy and safe to run across repos and teams
• Automate the measurement and evaluation of agent output quality, including tests and regression checks on agent-generated changes
• Implement technical controls for safe agent usage: permission models, sandboxing, command allowlists, secrets handling, and data-exposure protections
• Integrate agents with governed Claude access through AWS Bedrock, IAM, and the enterprise AI Gateway
• Build audit logging and usage tracking for agent activity and AI-generated code
• Partner with InfoSec, Risk, and Compliance to translate Financial Services regulatory and model risk requirements into enforceable technical controls
• Build telemetry pipelines and dashboards for usage, token consumption, cost, and quality metrics (acceptance rates, cycle time, defect rates)
• Run hands-on bake-offs of emerging coding agents and models against real enterprise tasks; produce data-driven recommendations
• Stay current on rapidly evolving agentic coding tools and bring working prototypes, not slideware
• Document reference implementations, and pair with engineering teams to unblock adoption
• Contribute reusable configs, templates, and examples to a shared internal repository

Skills

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline (or equivalent experience)
• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong proficiency in Python and at least one additional language (e.g., TypeScript, Java)
• Proven, daily hands-on use of Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor or similar agents to deliver production code, with examples of non-trivial work shipped
• Experience building MCP servers, custom tools, skills, subagents, or hooks
• Strong grasp of context and prompt design, task decomposition, and how to steer and verify agent output
• Experience building CI/CD automation and scripting agent workflows via CLIs or SDKs
• Solid grounding in Git workflows, testing, code review, and secure coding practices
• Working knowledge of AWS (Bedrock, IAM, Lambda, API Gateway, S3)
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and collaboration skills
• Experience with the Claude Agent SDK, Claude on Bedrock, or the OpenAI Agents SDK
• Experience applying coding agents to large-scale legacy modernization or migration programs
• Experience building internal developer platforms or developer productivity tooling
• Experience with AI gateways, LLM observability, and usage/cost tracking
• Experience deploying AI coding tools in a regulated environment
• Familiarity with SAST/DAST and software supply chain security
• Infrastructure as code experience (Terraform, CDK)
• Financial Services domain experience across Banking, Capital Markets, Asset Management, Wealth Management, or Insurance
• AWS certifications (Developer, Solutions Architect, or Machine Learning
