Description:
Job Title: Sr AI Platform Engineer
Location: Palo Alto, CA - Onsite
About VLink: Started in 2006 and headquartered in Connecticut, VLink is one of the fastest
growing digital technology services and consulting companies. Since its inception, our innovative
team members have been solving the most complex business, and IT challenges of our global
clients.
Job Description:
As an Applied AI Developer on the Enterprise AI team, you'll evaluate where AI fits, build the tools and platforms that make it practical, and enable teams across Client to adopt modern AI development patterns — including LLM orchestration, agentic workflows, and model governance. You stay hands-on and outcomes-oriented: prototyping, evaluating emerging AI technologies, and shipping solutions that make the organization measurably more efficient.
What You'll Do
Think AI-first — assess where agentic approaches genuinely outperform conventional solutions, then own the quality bar: build automated evals, simulation tests, and regression frameworks that keep our AI systems reliable and improving as they scale.
Design agentic systems — tool orchestration, agent reasoning, memory, MCP integrations, and human-in-the-loop workflows.
What We're Looking For
5 years of professional software engineering, with at least 2 years focused on applied AI in production systems.
Proficient in Python and/or Go; comfortable reading and writing in the other.
Proven experience building and scaling multi-agent or agent-driven systems in production — real-world operational ownership, not just simple LLM workflows.
Hands-on experience with modern agent ecosystems, including frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, Google ADK, Mastra, Claude Agent SDK), observability and evals tooling (e.g., Langfuse, LangSmith, Braintrust), MCP implementations, and leading AI SDKs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic).
Nice to Have
Experience with AI evaluation tooling (Langfuse, LangSmith, Braintrust, or custom eval frameworks).
Experience building custom MCP servers, not just consuming them.
AI-native builder with high velocity and ownership — intellectual curiosity, rapid adoption of new tools, bias to action, and the ability to drive ambiguous problems from concept to production.
