Good programming skills in at least one language (Python or JavaScript/TypeScript preferred).
Strong problem-solving and debugging skills.
Good to Have
Experience with frontend technologies such as Next.js or React.
Experience with Node.js backend development.
REST API development and third-party API integrations.
Experience integrating models from Hugging Face.
Understanding of multi-agent systems, agent communication, and agent orchestration.
Familiarity with agent frameworks such as LangGraph, LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, OpenAI Agents SDK, or similar.
Experience with vector databases and semantic search.
Basic understanding of cloud deployment and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
Preferred Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, or a related field.
Personal projects, internships, or open-source contributions involving LLMs or AI agents.
Passion for experimenting with emerging AI technologies and rapid prototyping.
What You'll Work On
Intelligent autonomous agents
Enterprise AI assistants
Multi-agent orchestration systems
AI-powered engineering workflows
Retrieval and knowledge systems
Human-AI collaborative applications
AI developer tooling and automation
What We're Looking For
Curiosity and a strong learning mindset.
Ability to rapidly prototype and iterate.
Strong software engineering fundamentals.
Interest in building reliable, production-ready AI systems rather than only experimenting with models.
Excellent communication and collaborative problem-solving skills.
Ovii Interpretation
An early-career AI Agent Engineer role focused on building production-oriented agents and applications with large language models. The work spans retrieval, tool use, agent memory, evaluation, and integrations, alongside collaboration with product and engineering teams.
