As a Software Engineer, you will build AI systems to enhance developer workflows, implementing agents and servers, and ensuring code reliability through evaluation pipelines.
IMC is embedding agentic AI directly into the developer workflow for our production-critical systems. As a member of the Agentic AI engineering team, you'll help build agents, MCP servers, and evaluation loops that make AI-generated code reliable, auditable, and fast to ship. You'll work closely with experienced engineers and platform teams to deliver pragmatic, high-impact AI integrations at scale.

- Experience with retrieval systems (vector search, embeddings, or hybrid approaches)
- Familiarity with compiler/static analysis or large-scale refactoring tools
- Interest in customizing or fine-tuning open-weight models
- Knowledge of model-serving or evaluation infrastructure
Why This Role at IMC
- Impact at scale: Your work will help bring AI directly into production developer workflows
- Growth: You'll gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge AI systems while learning from specialists in AI, systems, and developer productivity
