AI Agent Engineer

About XILO:

Founded in 2019 by two best friends—Jon, a software engineer, and Eli, an insurance brokerage owner—XILO is a Vertical AI company transforming the insurance industry from the inside out. Initially a SaaS platform to streamline quoting, XILO is now building the future of insurance operations using AI Agents.

We’ve recently closed our Series A from top-tier investors and are growing quickly. Our mission is to automate the marketing, sales, and service workflows of insurance agencies with AI Agents that do the work—start to finish.

About the Role:

We’re looking for an AI Agent Engineer who has built real AI agents that execute complex, multi-step workflows in production environments (or locally).You’ve gone beyond basic prompt engineering and RAG—you’ve designed stateful agents, handled tool-calling, memory, routing, and orchestrated agents using LangGraph, OpenAI SDK, SmolAgent, or similar frameworks.

In this role, you’ll own the architecture, design, and implementation of AI Agents that interact with third-party systems (web apps, APIs, documents) to complete insurance workflows autonomously. You’ll partner with founders, product, and engineering to take agents from prototype to production—and ensure they’re resilient, auditable, and accurate.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and implement multi-step AI Agents using agentic frameworks(LangGraph, OpenAI SDK/Swarm, Google ADK, etc.).
• Architect robust workflows for agents that interact with browser automation, APIs, LLMs, PDFs, and CRMs.
• Optimize latency, cost, and performance across the agent lifecycle.
• Work closely with product and engineering teams to integrate agents into our core platform.
• Create strong observability and debugging tools to ensure agent performance and accountability.
• Handle prompt engineering, function-calling, memory, tool creation, and multi-agent orchestration.
• Stay on the frontier of agent research and apply new findings pragmatically.

You Might Be a Fit If:

• You’ve shipped agent-based systems that go beyond chat UX—e.g., agents that fill forms, move through websites, analyze documents, or trigger downstream workflows.
• You’re fluent in one or more of the agentic frameworks: LangGraph, SmolAgent, OpenAI SDK, Google ADK, CrewAI, etc.
• You are an excellent backend engineer who codes daily and owns systems end to end.
• You’re obsessive about reliability, debuggability, and ensuring AI systems behave deterministically when needed.
• You’ve worked with LLMs via API (OpenAI, Anthropic, Claude, Mistral, or fine-tuned models).
• You understand when to use LLMs vs deterministic logic and how to blend both.
• You’re deeply organized, low ego, and can lead through action and collaboration.
• You care about product and user value just as much as the tech stack.

Bonus Points:

• Experience with RPA, Selenium, or building automation bots for web workflows.
• Background in insurance, fintech, or other compliance-heavy verticals.
• Contributions to open-source agentic frameworks or related tooling.
• Knowledge of DevOps and production monitoring for AI services.

What We Offer:

• Collaborative and innovative work environment
• Flex PTO for any reason, including sick days (no specified limits), flexible work schedule.
• Personal laptop.
• Health and wellness package.
• Budget for English lessons.

Why Join XILO?

You’ll be on the ground floor of a rapidly growing AI startup building AI agents that replace jobs, not just enhance them. You’ll solve real business problems, help agents generate revenue and reduce service costs, and leave your fingerprint on the core intelligence of our product.

We’re a mission-driven team that works hard, moves fast, and doesn’t stop until the job is done right. If you’re ready to do the most meaningful work of your career, we want to hear from you.

Apply only if you’re ready to build AI that does the job—not just chat about it.
