- The Agentic AI Foundations team is building the core platform, systems, and primitives that enable Socure to transition from traditional software workflows to agent-native operations

- As a Software Engineer II on the team, you will help design, build, and harden a secure, evaluable, vendor-agnostic agent platform that teams across Socure can build on, working alongside senior and staff engineers who set the architectural direction

- This is a hands-on, zero-to-one team, and you’ll get outsized exposure to how agentic systems are architected and operated in production

- You’ll bring strong foundational knowledge of LLMs, agentic AI, and GPU/model serving through academic, research, professional, open-source, or other relevant experience, and grow into greater ownership as you build alongside senior engineers on the team

- Build components of a vendor-agnostic agent platform — including orchestration, tool use, memory, and runtime systems — under the guidance of senior engineers on the team

- Implement evaluation and reliability tooling, including metrics, harnesses, and pipelines, to measure and improve agent performance, robustness, and safety in production

- Help implement safety and governance controls, including guardrails, policy enforcement, and human-in-the-loop review mechanisms

- Build data grounding, retrieval, and memory components that keep agents accurate, context-aware, and aligned with Socure’s domain knowledge and policies

- Prototype and iterate on agent behaviors, including planning, multi-step execution, and coordination of tools and services, using real internal workflows as proving grounds

- Partner with product and engineering teams to implement agent-powered workflows using the platform primitives the team builds

- Apply and help refine documented best practices and design patterns for secure, observable, and scalable agent systems

- Bring strong foundational knowledge of LLMs, GPU computing, and model serving to technical discussions and implementation decisions
