Job Summary
The future is bright for the Porch Group , and we’d love for you to be a part of it as our Senior Agentic Platform Engineer II.
As a Senior Agentic Platform Engineer II , your charter is to build out theAgentic Platform at Porch Group — the shared foundation every team builds AI on. You will own how we build retrieval pipelines, deploy and manage remote agents, create MCP servers, route and govern model access, and evaluate all of it. When a new use case arrives, this team builds the scaffolding and often a proof of concept, then hands off to the feature team that owns the production system.
AI adoption here has moved fast: agentic coding tools are in active rollout across multiple business units, autonomous agents already open merge requests against production repositories, and a centralized LLM gateway is live. The platform runs primarily on Python with some TypeScript /Node, on Kubernetes and Google Cloud , alongside vector stores for retrieval, LLM evaluation and observability tooling, a workflow orchestration platform for production AI pipelines, and a growing fleet of internal MCP servers. Porch's product services are predominantly JVM-based ( Java, Kotlin, Scala ), and the agents you build will operate on that code.
What You Will Do As A Senior Agentic Platform Engineer II
- Build out the Agentic Platform as a product for internal teams — find what teams keep rebuilding and turn it into a paved path with sane defaults.
• Design, build, and operate internal MCP servers, and own the standards for them: auth (OAuth 2.1), tool and schema design, versioning, and testing — plus the scaffolding, templates, and registry that make creating one a solved problem.
• Build the platform layer for remote agents: how an agent gets deployed, scheduled, credentialed, observed, rate-limited, and safely retired, across conversational, scheduled, and event-triggered shapes.
• Build the guardrails that make autonomous agents trustworthy — scoped permissions, human-in-the-loop approval gates, sandboxed execution, audit logging, spend controls, and hard blast-radius limits.
• Serve as technical lead for retrieval-augmented generation — shared patterns for ingestion, chunking, embedding, and retrieval; vector stores; incremental sync; and retrieval quality owned as a measured discipline rather than a guess.
• Own evaluation and observability for AI systems — eval harnesses, golden datasets built from the questions people actually ask and calibrated against domain experts, prompt versioning, and instrumentation through Opik, Datadog, and OpenTelemetry.
• Advance the agentic developer experience — the internal plugin and skills library encoding Porch conventions, our code review agents, the autonomous bug and security remediation agents, and tooling that makes fleet-wide migration across dozens of JVM repositories tractable.
• Extend and operate the LLM gateway (Portkey) — provider and model coverage, routing, secure access for bus
