About the role

  • Senior Applied AI Engineer building production AI agents for Tango Analytics’ real estate technology platform. Designing retrieval, evaluation, safety, and human-in-the-loop capabilities.

Responsibilities

  • Build and ship Tango’s first AI-powered product
  • Design, build, and ship production AI agents on LangGraph
  • Own agents end to end, including graph design, tool definitions, prompt and context engineering, durable execution, failure and retry behavior, and cost and latency budgets
  • Build agent tooling against internal systems over MCP, using direct API calls and agent-to-agent interfaces where appropriate
  • Deliver human-in-the-loop review flows with interrupt points, confidence surfacing, and correction paths
  • Build and tune retrieval covering chunking, hybrid retrieval, grounding, and citations back to source page and paragraph
  • Contribute golden datasets, LLM-as-judge and deterministic scorers, and CI regression suites
  • Diagnose quality failures and correct the appropriate layer
  • Own agent-level safety behavior, including prompt-injection resistance, PII handling, refusal, and escalation paths
  • Partner with Product to translate accuracy thresholds, confidence disclosure, and human-in-the-loop triggers into shipped behavior
  • Work with Platform Engineering on deployment and Data Platform on curated datasets
  • Feed agent session and usage analytics into the warehouse
  • Transition reference agents to domain teams and contribute to the shared agent quality standard

Requirements

  • 7+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • 2+ years building LLM-powered systems that reached production and real users
  • Strong expertise with Python and its service stack, including FastAPI, Pydantic, or equivalents
  • Engineering discipline in testing, code review, CI/CD, and production ownership
  • Production experience with an agent orchestration framework
  • Hands-on depth with at least one frontier model API
  • Hands-on experience with LLM evaluation, including golden datasets, LLM-as-judge, deterministic scorers, regression testing, and release gating
  • Experience with MCP tool servers or comparable tool and function-calling protocols
  • Experience with multi-agent patterns
  • Production RAG and retrieval experience, including chunking strategy, hybrid retrieval, grounding, citation, and diagnosing retrieval failures
  • Experience with LLM observability and tracing, such as LangSmith, Langfuse, Arize, or equivalent
  • Experience with prompt and version management
  • Sound judgment about hallucination, prompt injection, silent degradation, and acceptable versus unacceptable failures
  • LangGraph strongly preferred; LangChain, OpenAI or Claude Agents SDKs, or equivalent frameworks considered
  • Preferred experience with graph-backed agent memory or knowledge graphs
  • Preferred experience with production vector and hybrid retrieval stores
  • Preferred experience with async task orchestration for long-running document pipelines
  • Preferred experience with document intelligence and information extraction at scale, including OCR, layout-aware parsing, and structured extraction from long documents
  • Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. for any employer
  • Tango cannot sponsor employment-based visas at this time

Benefits

  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
