Project description

An international provider of hosting and digital infrastructure services is seeking an experienced AI Agent Engineer. The role focuses on developing reliable AI agents and integrating them securely into existing systems and processes.

Responsibilities

  • Translating support issues into scalable solutions: Analyzing customer inquiries from chat, email, and in-product support; determining what should be automated and what should remain the responsibility of employees, including measurable success criteria
  • Design and implementation of AI agents, including Agent Operating Procedures (AOPs), that resolve customer issues end-to-end via chat and email
  • Setting up and managing API integrations between the AI platform and backend systems so that agents can read customer statuses and trigger actions (e.g., server, cloud, and account management)
  • Design of intake, classification, and escalation logic for abuse reports with auditable, tiered measures, coordinated with Terms & Conditions and Legal while taking regulatory requirements into account (e.g., DSA)
  • Staged and shadow mode validation, multi-turn and edge case testing prior to go-live
  • Post-launch tuning based on real traffic data and quality reviews in collaboration with the AI Quality Manager
  • Complete documentation in Confluence: decision logs, endpoint maps, escalation paths, and known limitations
  • Knowledge transfer throughout the entire project lifecycle, so that the internal team can ultimately take over operations and further development independently

Requirements

Must-have

These criteria are required for the project.

  • Proven experience in building AI agents or conversational workflows on platforms such as Decagon, Sierra, Ada, or Parloa (prompt and flow design, tool/function calling, agent evaluation)
  • Solid understanding of API integrations: authentication, webhooks, retries, idempotence, rate limiting, and error handling
  • Ability to read API documentation and JSON responses, as well as experience with structured data contracts for AI applications
  • QA and testing of conversational AI prior to release, including multi-turn flows, adversarial phrasing, and tool-call edge cases
  • Analysis of agent behavior in production using logs and implementation of improvements in the build
  • Clear written communication, early identification of blockers and trade-offs, and the ability to critically evaluate requirements

Nice-to-have

Not required, but a plus for your application.

  • Experience with CRM, ticketing, or CMS systems (e.g., Freshdesk, Zendesk) and email infrastructure (M365/Exchange, Power Automate)
  • Automation projects involving legal or compliance requirements, where auditability and data collection are key
  • Scripting in Python or JavaScript
  • Background in hosting, infrastructure, or Trust & Safety / abuse handling
  • Experience with cross-departmental projects in a remote setting

Skills

  • KI-Agenten
  • Conversational AI
  • Python
  • TypeScript
  • REST-APIs
