What this job asks for AI summary
This role focuses on building AI agents that take real action inside ERP workflows — covering areas like orders, inventory, and financials — rather than simple conversational interfaces. The work spans agent and tool design on MCP servers, a composable typed component library for AI-driven UI, and the evaluation infrastructure needed to measure whether those experiences actually improve. It suits engineers with hands-on production LLM experience who also have strong product instincts.

Why we read it this way (8)
No explicit years-of-experience requirement is stated; seniority is inferred from the scope — production AI agent delivery, evaluation harness ownership, and shaping the product direction — which maps to Senior.
The title carries no level word, so advertised seniority is Unspecified.
Java and JavaScript are presented as interchangeable options ('Java, JavaScript, or a comparable language'); Java is listed first and used as the primary skill name with JavaScript in alternatives.
React and TypeScript are explicitly de-emphasized ('matters more than React or TypeScript expertise') and appear in a comparative framing rather than a requirements block — treated as preferred/nice-to-have.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is named explicitly as the agent tool-calling mechanism; 'or equivalent' is noted in the JD, but no specific named alternatives are given beyond the concept itself.
Compensation is described as base salary + annual bonus + LTIP with no figures provided; candidates are asked to submit a desired salary range.
Visa sponsorship is explicitly unavailable, including H-1B; candidates must already be authorized to work in the US.
