Senior Python Software Engineer

Senior Python Software Engineer – AI Integrations

Industry: AI / Developer Platforms / Distributed Systems

Location: USA - Fully Remote

Salary: Competitive Base + Equity / Bonus Potential

X4 Engineering are working with a highly innovative, early-stage AI platform company that is building the connective tissue for the next generation of AI systems.

They are seeking a Senior Python Software Engineer to take ownership of their developer-facing integration layer. This role sits at the heart of the platform, responsible for building the SDKs that allow developers to connect AI agents into a multi-agent communication system in minutes rather than weeks.

In this role, you will design and evolve a production-grade Python SDK used by external developers, implementing adapters for leading agent frameworks, integrating directly with frontier model APIs, and shaping emerging agent-to-agent communication standards. You’ll focus heavily on API ergonomics, developer experience, and reliability, while working on genuinely bleeding-edge problems where protocols and best practices are still being defined.

Key Requirements

• 5+ years of professional Python experience with strong OOP (asyncio, type hints, Pydantic).
• Proven background building and maintaining SDKs, libraries, or developer tools used by external teams.
• Familiarity with AI / LLM frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, Pydantic AI, AutoGen, or similar.
• Strong API design instincts with a focus on usability and developer experience.
• Experience designing and consuming REST and WebSocket APIs.

Nice to Have

• Exposure to agent-to-agent protocols (A2A, MCP, ACP) or distributed messaging standards.
• Multi-language experience (TypeScript, Go, Rust, Elixir).
• Contributions to open-source AI or developer tooling projects.
• Startup or early-stage experience, comfortable operating with ambiguity and speed.
