About Republic Services
Republic Services is building an enterprise-grade Agentic AI platform that helps teams build, integrate, and operationalize GenAI solutions quickly, with minimal friction. The challenge is enterprise-scale adoption, including enterprise architecture, security/compliance, governance, and operational excellence. We’re looking for a high-leverage IC who can build platforms other teams depend on—APIs, orchestration, standards, and developer experience.
Job Description
As the first Staff Engineer focused on Agentic AI, you will own the platform end-to-end, not manage people. You will work on: - Agent orchestration: tool calling, planner/executor and multi-agent patterns, MCP/A2A integrations with enterprise systems - Making enterprise context reliably available at inference time—retrieval, memory, hybrid search, reranking, access controls - LLMOps that isn’t hand-wavy: evals and golden datasets, prompt/agent versioning, tracing, token and cost budgets, CI/CD for agents - Safety in a regulated enterprise: prompt injection, data exfiltration, PII handling, human-in-the-loop, audit logging. You should have: - 7–10+ years building and scaling production systems, with recent, hands-on GenAI/agentic work in production (not just demos) - Shipped agents or LLM pipelines at scale - Solid data chops — vector stores, chunking, hybrid search, knowing when retrieval is the wrong answer - Cloud experience (we’re primarily AWS Bedrock); comfortable with containers and serverless - Track record of technical leadership and mentoring without needing a manager title. Nice to have: LangGraph/Semantic Kernel/PydanticAI, GraphRAG, knowledge graphs, LangFuse/LangSmith, multimodal.Remote
