About the role

IMC is embedding agentic AI directly into the developer workflow for our production-critical systems. As a member of the Agentic AI engineering team, you’ll help build agents, MCP servers, and evaluation loops that make AI-generated code reliable, auditable, and fast to ship. You’ll work closely with experienced engineers and platform teams to deliver pragmatic, high-impact AI integrations at scale.

Your Core Responsibilities:

  • Contribute to the platform by implementing agents, MCP servers, and supporting services that propose and apply changes to large codebases
  • Assist in developing retrieval systems that give AI agents and developers accurate, up-to-date context from large codebases and design artifacts
  • Help measure and improve AI-generated changes by building compile/test/evaluate pipelines (static analysis, style and safety checks, performance gates, code review)
  • Apply IMC’s best practices in concurrency, telemetry, configuration hygiene, and performance-sensitive code paths to ensure AI outputs are reliable and idiomatic
  • Collaborate with teammates on experiments to evaluate and improve AI-driven workflows

Your Skills & Experience:

  • BS+ in Computer Science (or related) with strong fundamentals (algorithms, data structures, systems)
  • 5+ year of professional software engineering experience
  • Proficiency in a high-level programming language (Java or Python preferred)
  • Experience contributing to developer-facing or production systems
  • Curiosity and eagerness to learn about AI/LLM application patterns, even if you haven’t worked closely with them yet
  • Strong communication skills; comfortable working with engineers in a fast, collaborative environment
