What are the responsibilities and job description for the Generative AI Engineer position at Franklin Fitch?
Staff Agentic AI Engineer | Remote (Only Atlanta-based candidates) | $200K - $250K
We’re partnered with a fast-scaling AI startup building production-grade agentic systems that go beyond chat - systems that make decisions, call tools, and execute real workflows in live environments.
This is a high-impact role for engineers who have actually shipped LLM-powered systems. You’ll sit at the intersection of backend and applied AI, turning cutting-edge capabilities into reliable, customer-facing products. You won’t be building demos: you’ll be defining how autonomous systems behave in the real world, under real constraints, with real consequences. The problems here are hard, messy, and unsolved - and that’s exactly the point.
What you’ll do:
- Build and scale backend systems for agent-based workflows
- Design orchestration layers for multi-step reasoning, tool calling, and execution
- Develop stateful, reliable agent systems that operate in production
- Integrate LLMs with APIs, databases, and real-world systems
- Handle latency, cost, failures, and reliability challenges
- Own systems end-to-end—from design to deployment and iteration
What they’re looking for:
- 7 years backend engineering experience (strong Python)
- Proven experience shipping LLM or agent-based systems in production
- Hands-on with multi-step workflows, tool calling, and orchestration
- Strong understanding of LLM vs deterministic logic boundaries
- Experience solving real production issues (hallucinations, scale, cost)
- Ability to clearly explain systems you’ve built end-to-end
Nice to have:
- Experience with multi-agent systems or orchestration frameworks
- Familiarity with OpenAI, Anthropic, or cloud LLM platforms
- RAG, vector databases, and retrieval systems
- Distributed systems or platform engineering background
