Agentic Engineer

Agentic Engineer We’re a profitable, 10-year-old custom software agency operating at the forefront of AI-driven development. As demand accelerates—especially around agentic AI systems—engineering is no longer just about writing code. It’s about building systems that leverage AI to move faster, iterate smarter, and deliver better outcomes.We’re looking for Agentic Engineers who use AI as a core part of their development workflow—not as a novelty, but as a practical force multiplier. You don’t just code—you orchestrate tools, workflows, and systems to ship high-quality software efficiently.This is a hands-on, client-facing engineering role where you’ll work directly with teams and clients to design, build, and deliver modern software powered by AI. This role will report to an Engineering Team Lead and will work closely with project managers, clients, and cross-functional teams to deliver successful outcomes.Why This RoleAI is fundamentally changing how we build. You’ll work with agent workflows, orchestration layers, and tools that accelerate development across the entire lifecycle.Execution is the job. You’re expected to ship—quickly, reliably, and at a high quality bar.AI is your multiplier. You’ll use tools like Claude, Cursor, Copilot, and others to increase output, not replace thinking.You work directly with clients. You’ll translate business needs into technical solutions and help clients understand what’s possible with AI.What You’ll DoBillable Engineering Work (IC)Build high-quality, full-stack applications using modern technologies and AI-assisted workflowsLeverage agentic development approaches across planning, implementation, testing, and debuggingWrite clean, maintainable, and scalable codeBalance speed and quality using the right mix of AI tools and traditional engineeringAgentic AI DevelopmentIntegrate LLMs, RAG systems, and AI-powered features into client applicationsDesign and implement workflows where agents plan, act, and iterateEvaluate AI outputs and continuously refine prompts, logic, and systems for better resultsApply best practices for reliability, observability, and performance in AI-driven systemsWorkflow Design & OrchestrationBreak down complex problems into structured, executable workflowsIdentify where AI can accelerate development—and where it shouldn’tOrchestrate tools and agents to improve development efficiencyContinuously refine how work gets done, not just what gets builtClient CollaborationWork directly with clients to understand requirements and deliver solutionsTranslate technical concepts and AI capabilities into clear business valueHelp clients understand tradeoffs, limitations, and opportunities with AIContribute to strong, long-term client relationshipsTeam CollaborationPartner with engineers, project managers, and leadership to deliver projectsContribute to shared codebases, systems, and best practicesShare learnings and help raise the bar for how the team uses AIParticipate in and contribute to EOS meetings, including L10’s, establishing Rocks, etc.You Are...An AI-first engineer who uses tools and agents as part of your daily workflowFocused on shipping outcomes, not just writing codeComfortable working across the stack (frontend, backend, infrastructure)Able to break down complex problems into manageable, executable stepsA strong communicator who can work with both technical and non-technical stakeholdersPragmatic—you know when to use AI and when to rely on traditional approachesSelf-sufficient, but collaborative when neededAlways looking for ways to improve how work gets doneYou Embody Our Core ValuesGet to Done – We focus on customer outcomes and execute intentionallyNurturing – We lead with empathy for our team and our clientsAdaptable – We bring a growth mindset and embrace changeResourceful – We are solution-oriented, self-sufficient, proactive, and self-awareYou Have...5+ years of full-stack software development experienceStrong experience with:TypeScript, React, and modern backend systemsDatabases (Postgres or similar)Familiarity with cloud and container-based infrastructure (AWS, Docker, etc.)Daily experience using AI development tools (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, etc.)Experience with:Prompt engineeringLLM integrationsRAG or similar AI patternsAbility to evaluate and improve AI-generated outputsStrong problem-solving and execution mindsetNice-to-HavesExperience with Model Context Protocol (MCP) or similar frameworksFamiliarity with vector databases and embedding modelsReact Native / Expo experienceAWS certificationsConsulting or agency experienceWhat Sets You ApartYou think in terms of systems and workflows, not just codeYou understand how to decompose problems for AI-assisted executionYou know how to balance speed vs. rigor in modern developmentYou stay current with AI tools, frameworks, and best practicesYou help others adopt better ways of working, not just better codeYour First 90 DaysMonth 1Learn active projects, tools, and development workflowsBuild context on how the team uses AI across projectsBegin contributing to client workMonth 2Take ownership of features and components within projectsApply agentic workflows to improve speed and qualityCollaborate closely with clients and internal teamsMonth 3Consistently deliver high-quality work across projectsContribute to improving team-wide AI development practicesSupport strong client outcomes and delivery consistencyCompensation & BenefitsSalary: $125,000 – $150,000 + benefitsFully remote work environmentEmployee profit sharing programMandatory vacation policyPaid maternity/paternity leaveFully paid phone plan (business + personal)Company-paid long and short-term disabilityAbout The Gnar CompanyWe help companies solve gnarly software problems.
