Description
We are seeking an Agentic Engineering Manager to lead our team in building and maintaining the Agent SDK, a framework used by other engineering teams to develop AI coding agents.
As an Agentic Engineering Manager at BambooHR, you will be responsible for managing 1-2 scrum teams of Software Engineers, setting the bar for writing agent specifications, delegating execution to AI coding agents, and verifying agent-produced output.
Your team owns the Agent SDK, along with the core platform underneath it, including a RAG pipeline, a sandboxed environment for running agent-generated code, evaluation frameworks, and observability.
Key responsibilities:
- Manage 1-2 scrum teams of Software Engineers building the Agent SDK, RAG pipeline, code execution sandbox, evaluations, and observability.
- Set the bar for how engineers write agent specifications, delegate execution to AI coding agents, and verify agent-produced output.
- Coordinate engineers steering multiple agents in parallel across concurrent platform workstreams.
- Own the scaffolding your team and its downstream consumers delegate through: SDK conventions, agent instructions, evaluation harnesses, and playbooks.
Requirements:
- 10+ years of experience in software development.
- 2+ years of real-world, demonstrable technical leadership.
- Object-Oriented development experience.
- Experience building or operating platform-level engineering teams.
- Experience managing or working alongside engineers who use AI coding agents as the default way to build production software.
- Proficiency in context engineering practices.
- Familiarity with core AI agent infrastructure concepts such as RAG, sandboxed code execution, evaluation frameworks, and observability.
- Experience in developing Software as a Service.
- Version control software, preferably Git.
- Proficiency in documenting processes and monitoring performance metrics.
- Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills.
Nice to have:
- Hands-on experience with LLM tooling: RAG pipelines, vector databases, sandboxed/isolated code execution environments, or agent evaluation and observability tooling.
- Experience setting verification and security standards for agent-produced code.
- Knowledge of best practices related to data storage and access at high volume.
- MySQL/MSSQL - both query language and database structure/design.
We offer competitive benefits, professional development, and the flexibility to thrive both in and outside the office.
