About the role

At Simetrik we are building the foundation of an AI-powered ecosystem where agents transform financial operations. As an AI Engineer you will join the Agent Factory team to design, build, and deploy production ready AI agents that deliver tangible client value. The role blends software engineering rigor with data science depth. We want builders who thrive in ambiguity, move fast from concept to production, and are motivated by creating the first generation of scalable AI agents at Simetrik.

¿What does success look like in this role?

Your work reaches production with measurable outcomes such as agents deployed, client adoption, and user satisfaction. You balance speed and quality, communicate clearly, and adapt to changing priorities without losing execution momentum.

¿What is the impact and the scope of this position?

This team sits at the core of Simetrik’s future. The agents you ship can become a new business line larger than today’s company. You will be among the pioneers defining what the future looks like, moving agents from experiments to revenue.

What results do we expect in the first 3 to 6 months? Link: (Matriz)

You deliver at least six functional agents ready for production. You validate use cases with product and operations, measure value, and establish lightweight engineering practices that let pods replicate and scale delivery.

In this role you will

What are the main responsibilities for this role?

• Design, build, and deploy AI agents tailored to real customer problems.
• Work end to end from data preparation and model experimentation to backend integration and cloud deployment.
• Collaborate with product, data, and operations to identify high-value opportunities and iterate based on feedback.
• Ensure production readiness through testing, monitoring, and performance evaluation.
• Contribute reusable components and frameworks that speed up future agent development.
• Continuously explore state-of-the-art AI technologies and assess their production viability.
• Build functional agents aligned with business needs and client expectations.
• Maintain robust Python codebases using sound engineering practices.
• Integrate machine learning and large language models into scalable systems.
• Deploy and operate services in cloud environments with maintainability in mind.
• Partner with cross-functional pods to validate, iterate, and improve outcomes.
  
  

Must Have
