Associate Software Engineer - AI Agents (Satori)

Able to work on-site four days per week at our Belfast office

Experience with designing, developing, and supporting applications in a microservices cloud environment, or entry into the role with a Master's degree.

Personal interest in AI agents — you tinker with agent frameworks or LLM SDKs (LangGraph, OpenAI/Anthropic Agents SDK, MCP, LangChain, or similar) and keep up with the field.

Exposure to agentic or LLM-based systems, and curiosity about the eval, observability, and rollback story that takes them beyond prototypes.

Demonstrated learning velocity and curiosity; driven to understand systems beyond surface-level usage and eager to learn enterprise platform-level tradeoffs

Solid working experience with Python; TypeScript/Node a plus.

Comfortable debugging services and reading logs and traces; exposure to OpenTelemetry a plus.

Familiarity with cloud-native development and container systems; AWS experience a plus.

Excellent time management skills and willingness to coordinate work with colleagues in the US and around the globe.

Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, teachable attitude.

A proactive "get it done" attitude and willingness to move forward through uncertainty.

Readiness to participate in on-call rotation during times coordinated with US-based colleagues.

BSc or MSc in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience.

Interest in AI-driven development (e.g. Claude Code, Codex) and agentic communication protocols (e.g. A2A, MCP) preferred.
